Changing rates of genetic subtypes of Prader-Willi syndrome in the UKJoyce E Whittington
Department of Psychiatry, Section of Developmental Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Eur J Hum Genet 15:127-30. 2007..Increasing maternal age at conception is likely to explain the changing proportions in this generation of mothers...- Pre-, peri- and postnatal complications in Prader-Willi syndrome in a UK sampleJ E Whittington
Section of Developmental Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
Early Hum Dev 84:331-6. 2008..A recent paper described an abnormally high number of problems in pregnancy and early infancy in a large sample of people with PWS but this sample was not homogeneous with respect to age and potentially liable to cohort effects... 
Relationship between the IQ of people with Prader-Willi syndrome and that of their siblings: evidence for imprinted gene effectsJ Whittington
Section of Developmental Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
J Intellect Disabil Res 53:411-8. 2009..This raises the question of whether this distribution arose from a systematic effect of PWS on IQ (hypothesis 1) or whether it was the fortuitous result of random effects (hypothesis 2)...- Recognition of emotion in facial expression by people with Prader-Willi syndromeJ Whittington
Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK
J Intellect Disabil Res 55:75-84. 2011..However, reports of emotion recognition and response to emotion were partially dissociated. It was therefore decided to test facial emotion recognition directly... - Behavioural phenotypes associated with specific genetic disorders: evidence from a population-based study of people with Prader-Willi syndromeA J Holland
Section of Developmental Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge
Psychol Med 33:141-53. 2003..A factor analysis of the behaviours involved resulted in three factors that we hypothesized to be independent, and to arise from different mechanisms... - Prevalence of, and risk factors for, physical ill-health in people with Prader-Willi syndrome: a population-based studyJ V Butler
Section of Developmental Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, UK
Dev Med Child Neurol 44:248-55. 2002..Early diagnosis and clear guidance to families about these risks and how they might be prevented is recommended. It is hypothesized that the high pain threshold may result in the presence of some illness not being apparent... - Evidence for the independence of positive and negative well-being: implications for quality of life assessmentFelicia A Huppert
Department of Psychiatry, University of Cambridge, UK
Br J Health Psychol 8:107-22. 2003..The aim of this study is to compare the characteristics and determinants of positive and negative mental states in a population sample... - Development of the eating behaviour in Prader-Willi Syndrome: advances in our understandingC J McAllister

Int J Obes (Lond) 35:188-97. 2011..Understanding the overeating in PWS will lead to more focused and successful management and ultimately, treatment of this life-threatening behaviour... - The transition between the phenotypes of Prader-Willi syndrome during infancy and early childhoodJill V Butler
Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities Research Group, University of Cambridge, UK
Dev Med Child Neurol 52:e88-93. 2010..Little is known about the transition between phenotypes. This study investigates the nature of the change in infancy and childhood PWS...
