What Is Prader Willi Syndrome?
3. Symptom In Infants
As mentioned, the symptoms of Prader-Willi syndrome are likely to show when the patient is around 2 years old. When symptoms do show, one of the first that will be noticed is hypotonia, which is poor muscle tone. Infants with the condition will also often have poor responsiveness.
The condition will also often cause a poor sucking reflex, and this can exasperate any problems with their development. Patients with Prader-Willi syndrome are also likely to have underdeveloped genitals. Facial features such as a thin upper lip, turned down mouth, a narrow head at the temples, and almond shaped eyes are also common symptoms.
