Abstract
Most of what has been written about Prader-Willi syndrome states that people with PWS are infertile, or at least that no case of fertility {pregnancy) has been documented. A recently published case, however, makes it necessary to reconsider the fertility issue and the advice given to families of teens and adults with PWS. The scientific newsletter of the International Prader-Willi Syndrome Organisation (IPWSO) noted last spring that a Danish PWS newsletter contained a story about a woman with PWS who gave birth. The case finally appeared in a medical journal in November 1999, verifying that this birth did occur, that the mother did have PWS, and that the baby was normal. (See box, right.) To put this news in perspective, we've asked members of PWSA ' s Scientific and Clinical Advisory Boards to offer us some guidance on the issue of fertility in PWS.
