First seen Apr 11, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 7 times
Summary
This study followed 215 infants with Prader-Willi syndrome and a control group to measure hormones that control appetite and growth during the first four years of life. The goal was to understand why children with PWS switch from poor feeding in infancy to extreme hunger and obesity later. No treatments were tested; instead, researchers collected blood samples to build a resource for future studies.
