Dear Colleagues!

Just a brief question if anyone (more than me) has met a baby with concomitant Mb Down and Prader Willi syndrome?

This baby born at GW 30+1, initially severly sick with chylothorax which eventually resolved. Now at about 1 month corrected age with low flow O2, can´t really get off diuretics, feeding only by NG tube, hypotonia, normal heart. Just got the result about PW today and was curious about any other similar child "out there"?

Regards

I am not aware of such a case, but I must ask what led you test for both conditions?

The baby was more hypotonic/ floppy than you usually see in a child with ”only Mb Down”. We also tested extensively for muscle diseases, metabolic abnormalites and other but this was what came out.

Sounds like a case report.
