Hi Roberto! I am so sorry to hear about your daughter. As this syndrome is a constitutional abnormality, so those symptoms are cannot be prevented. What we can do is to let your daughter to undergo the treatment to reduce the effect of those symptoms. However, it is impossible to get rid of those symptoms.
If possible, i will suggest you to seek for the genetic counselor help. I’m sure the genetic counselor can guide you well.

My daughter is 13 years old and she has the Chromosome 15 Ring Syndrome. Her height is about 4 ft tall and she is obese at about 120 lbs. Her mental capacity right now is that of a first grader, her temper is really brutal when she does not get her way and she becomes very explosive. She was in genotropic (i think I spelled it right) from 2 to about 7 yrs but saw very little improvement in her growth. We live in Houston and we need help with all of the above. Can you guide us?

I saw a brilliant documentary on Prader-Willi Syndrome. It really opened up my eyes. You often hear (usually in a comical context) about people who are big because they can’t help it but it was interesting to see it in a serious and informative context. The way they interacted with each other was pretty cool.

Hi! Happy to see you first time here!:)
This syndrome is a genetic disorder that cannot be cured. We can only reduce the symptoms of this disorder. For example, to prevent the obesity, we need to control the patient’s diet and getting some treatments.
