PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME, DIAGNOSTICS AND CURRENCY FEATURES

Abstract

Five boys with Prader-Willi syndrome were examined at the endocrinologist by 2016. All children had minimal diagnostic signs of the syndrome, namely: muscular hypotension, hypogonadism, obesity, mental retardation of varying severity, small hands and feet. In two children there was a disruption of glucose tolerance. All patients had the manifestation of hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. If a minimal diagnostic criteria are found in the newborn, a genetic analysis is necessary.
