What Your Support Means

Thanks to the many families who put their hearts into this effort in the past, PWSA (USA) funded research has expanded understanding of PWS and furthered collaborative efforts with other organizations to understand the syndrome. With the help of donations received for research:

	We have more sophisticated and accurate testing for PWS.
	We know weight control early in life may be necessary for more than medical reasons. It is suspected that early weight control and growth hormone will improve brain development.
	We have more proof that the satiety problems with PWS are not psychological, but physiological in nature.
	We should be able to identify more accurately what drugs work better - and as important - in what dosage for PWS through studying why there is such a variability in our population in the response to psychotropic medications.
	We are supporting the collaboration of researchers who focus on other syndromes dealing with the insatiable appetite to work together to research possible common links between the syndromes that may lead to treatment options to combat the hunger.
