Prader-willi Syndrome

Information about Prader-willi Syndrome: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Prader-willi Syndrome

Most recent studies have shown that Prader-willi Syndrome shares some biological mechanisms with angelman-syndrome, apnea, autistic-disorder, cytogenetic-abnormality, diabetes-mellitus, dwarfism, embryonic-mosaic, growth-disorders, hereditary-diseases, hyperphagia, hypogonadism, muscle-hypotonia, neoplasms, obesity, obesity-morbid, port-wine-stain, sleep-apnea-syndromes, uniparental-disomy.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Prader-willi Syndrome, and have been seen in publications frequently: Brain Development, Coagulation, Cognition, Dna Methylation, Eating Behavior, Energy Homeostasis, Fertilization, Genetic Imprinting, Growth Hormone Secretion, Hormone Secretion, Localization, Meiosis, Meiosis I, Metaphase, Methylation, Pathogenesis, Pigmentation, Secretion, Spermatogenesis, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Prader-willi Syndrome, such as GABRB3, GGH, GH1, IGF1, INS, INVS, LEP, LMLN, MAGEL2, MKRN3, NDN, OCA2, POMC, PYY, SNRPN, SNURF, UBE3A, UROD. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
