Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1981
Children with Prader-Willi syndrome frequently have musculoskeletal problems such as joint hyperlaxity, hypotonia, delayed bone age, and scoliosis. Their musculoskeletal problems are magnified by the extreme obesity most of these patients exhibit. In certain cases, such as scoliosis, the Prader-Willi patient is placed at significant risk for increased ...

Psychoses are not a recognised feature. Most affected people have a chromosome 15 abnormality (deletion, disomy, structural rearrangement, etc.).
