Jose Angel Mendieta, a six-year-old Mexican boy, attends an ophthalmology consultation at the Federico Gomez Children's Hospital in Mexico City, Mexico on March 15, 2017. 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.

There may also be mild to moderate?intellectual impairment?and behavioral problems. Physical characteristics include a narrow forehead, small hands and feet, short in stature, and light skin color.
