Friends of IPWSO (USA)
Friends of IPWSO (USA) was founded by a group of scientists and parents who recognised that many people who have Prader-Willi syndrome around the world do not have access to the resources and information needed to live successful lives.
About Us
We support IPWSO’s work through funding conferences, scholarships, translations, publications, and other needs that will improve the lives of those who have PWS and inform those who care for them whether family or professionals.

What is PWS?
Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition. Various studies have shown that between 1 in 15,000 to 25,000 children are born with Prader-Willi syndrome and it affects all races and both sexes equally.
