Mission Statement
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a genetic disorder that occurs in one out of every 12,000-15,000 births and affects males and females of all races and ethnicities equally. Individuals with PWS lack normal hunger and satiety cues. Thus, they are typically not able to control their food intake and will overeat if not closely supervised. These individuals tend to have behavior difficulties including obsessive-compulsive behavior and difficulty controlling emotions.
About This Cause
The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association of Colorado (PWSA) is committed to improving the quality of life and the life expectancy of those affected with Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS). WE provide emotional support and social services to those who have PWS and to those who care for individuals with PWS. PWSA of Colorado also works to increase awareness of PWS within in the community and supports research directed at increased diagnosis, improved quality of life, and finding a cure.
