Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a life-long genetic disorder that impacts many people here in Colorado and throughout the world.
With your help and the continued efforts of PWSA, we hope to level the playing field and create a better future for individuals and families that live with the impacts of this syndrome.
Research on Prader-Willi syndrome has uncovered a number of treatments that have given us hope for a brighter future. Research uncovered critical treatments such as Growth Hormone and many other interventions.
In just the past 4 years, largely catalyzed by the Foundation for Prader-Willi Research & PWSA, the amount of investment in PWS research has surpassed what it had been for the 20 years prior.
The Prader-Willi Syndrome Association of Colorado ("PWSA") is committed to improving the quality of life and the life expectancy of those affected by Prader-Willi Syndrome ("PWS"), by funding research and providing emotional support and social services to those who have PWS or care for individuals with PWS. PWSA of Colorado works to increase awareness of PWS within society and the medical community, and actively supports research directed at improving diagnosis, quality of life, and most importantly, finding a cure.
