Answer:

Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder that results in persistent feelings of intense hunger and reduced rates of metabolism

Explanation:

Prader-Willi syndrome is a genetic disorder that occurs when a part of chromosome 15, passed down from father to child is deleted. In some few cases, the child does not get any copy of chromosome 15 from the father but instead, gets two copies from the mother.

This condition leads to obesity as those who suffer from it are always hungry and tend to overeat. Some other characteristics include; shortness, intellectual disability, slow metabolism and incomplete sexual development.
