Bone health is influenced by the interaction between osteoblasts (bone forming cells, OBs) and osteoclasts (bone resorbing cells, OCs), which are primarily regulated by the Wnt/-catenin pathway and the receptor activator of nuclear factor-B (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) axis, respectively ( In childhood, individuals with PWS often have normal BMD levels when adjusted for their reduced height ( The factors contributing to bone impairment in individuals with PWS are not fully understood, but possible explanations include loss of function of genes in the q11-q13 region of the paternal copy of chromosome 15, reduced production of sex hormones during puberty, as well as a relative GHD during childhood and adolescence ( Regarding the genes in the PWS critical domain that are involved in skeletal abnormalities, deletion of Snord116 has been shown to have negative effects specifically on the bone cortical compartment ( MAGEL2 is linked to Schaaf-Yang syndrome, which is characterized by a unique skeletal phenotype with abnormal BMD due to increased OCs activity and enhanced transformation of OBs into adipocytes ( MAGEL2 deletion is also associated with decreased levels of N-oleoyl serine, which has a positive correlation with BMD and OBs activity ( Hypogonadism is a common feature in individuals with PWS
The research team recorded participants weight and testosterone levels before they began taking weight loss drugs and then over the course of 18 months
