Riassunto

Confronting the complex issues associated with Prader-Willi syndrome puts us in mind of a thousand-piece puzzle where, at first glance, all the parts look much alike but are, in fact, very different. We were pleased that the publication of the initial book in 1988 clarified some of the more confusing aspects of this syndrome and that it became a comprehensive resource for information and enhancement of services. This second volume reflects the considerable advances in research, case finding, and multi­ disciplinary management that have evolved. The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA), with its membership of dedicated parents and professionals and its network of state chapters and allied organizations, is pleased to support this second edition. Our sincere thanks to Louise R. Greenswag and Randell C. Alexander for their significant contribution to transforming more pieces of the puzzle into a more complete picture. THE OFFICERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME ASSOCIATION (USA) IX Acknowledgments This second edition is the result of recognition by the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA) of significant advances in genetic research, the development of diagnostic criteria, and the expanding horizons of management of this unusual birth defect. We are deeply indebted to this exceptional organization of parents and professionals for its generous financial support in the preparation and publication of the text and for its personal support and encouragement.
