Abstract EN
Objectives.
This study measured gender differences in Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) in regard to the severity of behavioral symptoms.
Methods.
The Food Related Problem Questionnaire (FRPQ), the Aberrant Behavior Checklist Japanese Version, the Childhood Routines Inventory, the Pervasive Developmental Disorders Autism Society Japan Rating Scale, and Japanese ADHD-RS were administered to PWS patients (45 males aged 6 to 58 and 37 females aged 6 to 45).
To examine the effects that gender and genotype have on the severity of each symptom, two-way ANOVAs were conducted.
Results.
Significant interactions were found only in regard to FRPQ scores, such as FRPQ total score ( F ( 1 , 78 ) = 8.43, p < 0.01 ).
The FRPQ of male deletion (DEL) individuals was higher than that of female DEL and male mUPD.
The FRPQ of male maternal uniparental disomy (mUPD) was lower than that of female mUPD.
Conclusions.
In terms of problem behaviors, routines, autistic behaviors, and hyperactivity, no significant differences were found.
Food-related behaviors in DEL were more severe in males, although those in mUPD were less severe in males.
