Abstract

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare, complex genetic disorder characterized by cognitive and behavioral challenges, developmental delay, endocrine abnormalities, and chronic, life-threatening hyperphagia. These multifaceted clinical challenges necessitate a multidisciplinary care team in PWS (MDT-PWS) to support caregivers in managing the substantial healthcare burden. Genetic testing and counseling are essential for confirming diagnosis, guiding early management, and educating families and care teams.
