This broad term can be indicative of emotional, physical, cognitive and sensory issues. These challenges may present themselves individually.

In the present research study, we hypothesized that the abnormality in PWSCR may produce cascading effects on DNA methylation in other regions of genome. Because DNA methylation can turn on or off expression of genes, we aim to find regions related to the changes in DNA methylation. We will examine the DNA methylation profile in 16 individuals with PWS along with their siblings without PWS (total 32 individuals). We anticipate the results from this study will help find the downstream changes mediated by the abnormality of PWSCR and ultimately lead to the novel targets for treatment.
