Prader-Willi syndrome is a genomic imprinting disorder, characterized by obesity, hyperphagia, mental retardation, short stature and hypogonadism. The presenting signs and symptoms depend upon the age at which the patient is seen. Here we report a case of Prader-Willi syndrome, who presented at 16 years of age with diabetes mellitus and cryptorchidism.
