In nine children with Prader-Labhardt-Willi syndrome, some tests of anterior pituitary functions and insulin secretion have been performed. The endocrine disturbances found in these cases have been those commonly encountered in obese and/or cryptorchid subjects, so that they do not allow to ascertain a primary hypothalamo-pituitary defect.
