Hello Prader Willi Syndrome is a very rare genetic disease and it certainly cannot be diagnosed online. Typically to establish presence of Prader Willi Syndrome in adult person your doctor will be using the following criteria: - Extremely weak muscles in the body's torso - Excessive uncontrollable overeating - Specific facial features including narrow forehead and downturned mouth - Reduced development of the genitalia - Developmental delays mild-to-moderate intellectual disability multiple learning disabilities You should speak to your physician for further information. Kind Regards
