[QUOTE="BestICan, post: 78970, member: 3413"] Hi, I haven't posted in a long time but your post caught my attention. I actually used to work (years ago) in a facility that had a prader-willi clinic. While I didn't actually assist the kids in that clinic, there was a definite physical "type" that they seemed to share. I briefly checked out the link that a previous poster put up about prader-willi and it lists physical characteristics about face and hands, as well as the undescended testes. Something that the article didn't mention was that so many of these kids had massive scabs all over their arms and faces - they tended to pick and pick at their skin. Anyway, here's more specific information on diagnostic criteria and facial characteristics: [url="http://www.aafp.org/afp/20050901/827.html"]http://www.aafp.org/afp/20050901/827.html[/url] Good luck!
