Overview
Join us for this live symposium on Prader Willi syndrome (PWS) where our expert faculty will explore the huge burden that hyperphagia represents for patients with PWS, their families, and their caregivers. They will delve into the pathophysiology and complications of hyperphagia and look to the future in a discussion around the current and emerging treatment options for hyperphagia in PWS. By incorporating patient case examples and the latest data, the faculty will exchange ideas around best practices to ensure improved quality of life for patients with PWS and those around them.
There will be the opportunity for attendees to ask questions of the experts during this symposium.
