Proteome profiling identifies circulating biomarkers associated with hepatic steatosis in subjects with Prader-Willi syndrome
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by loss of expression of paternal chromosome 15q11.2-q13 genes. Individuals with PWS exhibit unique physical, endocrine, and metabolic traits associated with severe obesity. Identifying liver steatosis in PWS is challenging, despite its lower prevalence compared to non-syndromic obesity. Reliable biomarkers are crucial for the early detection and management of this condition associated with the complex metabolic profile and cardiovascular risks in PWS.
