Abstract
Thyroid axis dysfunction seems to be a frequent feature (10.7%) in subjects with PWS compared to the general population. However, we found a lower prevalence of HT in our PWS subjects respect to other national database that included fewer patients. Pediatricians should be aware of this association so this possibility is considered while evaluating PWS patients.
