Jose Angel weighs 47 kilos (103.5 pounds) and stands 119 centimeters (3 feet 11 inches). He was diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome at age four, a process that took over two years. He lives with his mother. Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS) is a rare genetic disorder caused by an abnormality in chromosome 15. In?newborns?symptoms include?weak muscle tone (hypotonia), poor appetite and slow development.
