How Is It Created?
It is the outcome of the loss of function in the genes in chromosome 15. It can also be caused by a "chromosomal rearragment" or a defect that shuts off genes on the father's chromosome 15. People with Prader-Willi syndrome have lost function in many genes on chromosome 15, which give "instructions" for making molecules that are important to a human.
Basically, it's caused by damage to chromosome 15.
Treatment
People with Prader-Willi syndrome can undergo multiple treatments to help with their condition including physical and behavioral therapy, exercising and dieting, injected growth hormones, etc.
