The prevalence of scoliosis in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is high; however, the prevalence of PWS is rare, with one person in 10,000 to 20,000 affected. The etiology and characteristics of scoliosis associated with PWS remain unidentified. In addition, it is believed that the speedup of growth associated with growth hormone (GH) supplement treatment may influence the deterioration of scoliosis in PWS.
