Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) can pose several health risks, making it potentially dangerous if not properly managed. Individuals with PWS often experience obesity due to insatiable hunger, which can lead to serious complications such as Diabetes, Heart disease, and sleep apnea. Additionally, behavioral issues and intellectual disabilities associated with the syndrome can impact safety and quality of life. Early intervention and ongoing medical care are crucial to mitigate these risks.
Andrea Prader, Heinrich Willi, Alexis Labhart, Andrew Ziegler and Guido Franconi were first to observe Prader Willi Syndrome in 1956.

A person inherits Prader-Willi syndrome from the paternal chromosomes. This basically means that you had seven genes that were unexpressed.
Yes he does.
There are no guidelines for preventing Prader-Willi syndrome. Prader-Willi Syndrome is a result of a genetic "error" that occurs at conception therefore there is nothing that can be done to prevent it. Liken it to not being able to prevent hair color or eye color....two things that occur as a result of DNA at conception.

1 in 15,000 people have it
According to the research I've done, Prader-Willi Syndrome is rarely a result of translocation, but it is a possibility. Translocation in this syndrome results in an inactivation of genes on the paternal chromosome 15.
Chromosome 15q partial deletion is the name for this syndrome.

It was named after the two doctors who diagnosed it
