Abstract

We analyzed international consensuses of experts and clinical recommendations on diagnosis and treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS): PWS consensus diagnostic criteria (1993); US PWS Association (PWSA-USA) consensus statements on evaluating of breathing abnormalities (2007), osteoporosis (2008), growth hormone treatment in PWS (2000 and 2009); Endocrine society clinical practice guideline on Prevention and treatment of pediatric obesity (2008); the Second Expert Meeting of the Comprehensive Care of Patients with PWS Consensus published as Recommendations for the diagnosis and management of PWS (2008). Historical analysis and comparison of recommendations are presented in this review article. Absence of Russian clinical practice guidelines on PWS patients management makes necessary the detailed study of listed documents.
