10 Prader Willi Syndrome Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #10: Poor Physical Development
It is important that growing children get plenty of nutrition and exercise. This is because they are still growing and food and exercise will help make sure that they develop as well as they should. Those with Prader-Willi syndrome, however, are not likely to develop as well as others.
Patients with the condition are likely to have a higher fat content and less muscle mass than other people. They are also likely to be shorter and they can also have smaller than usual hands and feet. Other symptoms include curvature of the spine, difficulties regulating their body temperature, and nearsightedness.
