Funded Activity Summary

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a devastating disorder whose symptoms include intellectual disability and compulsive eating. PWS occurs when a piece of the genome is mistakenly deleted, but why this DNA is important is still not understood. Our data indicate that the deleted DNA encodes a suite of previously hidden genetic elements, and here we proposed using the latest high-throughput DNA and RNA sequencing and stem cell technologies to finally unravel this mystery.
