Video Details: In this informative video clip on Prader-Willi Syndrome Dr. Siobhan Pittock talks about how endocrinologists at Mayo Clinic treat this rare disorder.

Because they have an insatiable appetite, people with Prader-Willi Syndrome can literally eat themselves to death. Symptoms associated with Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) are believed to be caused in part by a defect in the hypothalamus, an important supervisory center in the brain that controls metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, the development of muscle tone, the regulation of the sleep-wake cycle, body temperature, blood pressure, heartbeat, the expression of emotions, and many more functions of the body.
