Summary
This study followed 215 infants with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) over their first four years of life. Researchers measured hormones that control hunger and appetite to understand why children with PWS switch from poor feeding in infancy to extreme hunger and obesity later. No treatments were tested; the goal was to gather information and create a blood sample bank for future research.
