Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Market Outlook

Thelansis’s “Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Market Outlook, Epidemiology, Competitive Landscape, and Market Forecast Report – 2024 To 2034” covers disease overview, epidemiology, drug utilization, prescription share analysis, competitive landscape, clinical practice, regulatory landscape, patient share, market uptake, market forecast, and key market insights under the potential Prader-Willi Syndrome treatment modalities options for eight major markets (USA, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and China).

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) Overview

Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder affecting multiple body systems. It is caused by a deletion of genes on chromosome 15. Infants with PWS have weak muscle tone and feeding difficulties, which can lead to poor weight gain and growth. They also have distinctive facial features. Children with PWS are typically short, have small genitals, develop an excessive appetite, and lack satiety. This can lead to severe obesity if not managed carefully. Other associated endocrine abnormalities include growth hormone deficiency, hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, premature pubarche, and rarely corticotropin deficiency. Cognitive dysfunction is common in PWS, ranging from mild to moderate. Children with PWS may have learning disabilities, impaired speech and language development, and emotional control difficulties. The syndrome may also result in comorbidities such as diabetes, sleep-related breathing disorders, gastrointestinal problems, and infections. Early genetic testing and multidisciplinary care are essential for individuals with PWS. Growth hormone treatment is a key component of treatment, as it can stabilize body mass index, improve linear growth and cognitive development, and reduce comorbidities. While full autonomy cannot be reached, growth hormone treatment can help individuals with PWS lead better lives.
