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.

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.
Prader-Willi Syndrome
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.
Prader-Willi Syndrome.
It was named after the two doctors who diagnosed it
Prader-Willi syndrome is neither Greek nor Latin; it is named after the two Swiss doctors, Andrea Prader and Heinrich Willi, who first described the condition in 1956. The name reflects their contributions to understanding the syndrome rather than deriving from a Greek or Latin word. The condition itself is related to genetic abnormalities affecting chromosome 15.
