Hi guys. I think there is confusion with this so I'm clarifying here: When I say that PWS is not inherited, it means its not passed down from a parent having PWS (familial PWS is very rare). The majority of PWS cases is due to a loss of gene function (chromosome 15) which is from the father's side. This means the deletion in one region of the father's chromosome 15 leads to loss of gene function in the child. This paternal gene plays a significant role in hunger and fullness. PWS is NOT typically inherited from the father or mother having PWS. This means just because your parent has PWS, doesn't mean you will (it's very rare). Majority of cases are due to this loss of chromosome 15 from the father's side. Hope that makes sense!

I love how you add the info about what interventions and treatments OT’s can preform for clients with each of the conditions you discuss, it’s really helpful in getting the viewer into the mindset of OT.
I have actually worked with an individual with Prader-Willi Syndrome on my fieldwork and your video is so on point on the background, symptoms, and treatment that OTs can provide to support individuals with this kind of condition. Very straight-forward and well-informed. Thank you OT Rex for your knowledge!!
It’s very ridiculous that you say Prader-Willi kids… My daughter is 35 and is Pw You have no idea the challenges it is raising someone with PWS! It seems to me you are reading from a text book!

So glad that this info translated that way to you as that was my exact intention!
