Prader Willi syndrome is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder.  Many of the hallmark clinical features appear to result from hypothalamic dysfunction. Endocrine disorders associated with this condition include obesity, type 2 diabetes, growth hormone deficiency and hypogonadism. Central adrenal insufficiency and TSH deficiency have also been reported.  This presentation will review these endocrine disorders from a developmental perspective and discuss current therapies.
