“The Foundation for Prader-Willi Research and the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association (USA) are exploring ways to work together to advance research into the causes of, treatments for, and eventual cure of Prader-Willi syndrome. The two organizations are currently working to:

o support H. Res. 1386, declaring a National Awareness Month for PWS and emphasizing the need for increased financial support for PWS research;

We look forward to future discussions and opportunities for collaboration between these two outstanding organizations as we all work to eliminate the challenges of Prader-Willi syndrome.”
