Foundation for Prader-Willi Research is a nonprofit based in El Monte, California, that brings together families, researchers, and other stakeholders to address Prader-Willi syndrome and related conditions. Its mission is to eliminate the challenges of PWS through the advancement of research and therapeutic development, supported by global research efforts and collaborations with research institutions, pharmaceutical companies, and the FDA. The work focuses on issues such as childhood obesity, developmental delays, psychiatric disorders, and autism spectrum disorders linked to PWS. Its activities target families affected by PWS, researchers, and industry and regulatory partners seeking progress in treatments. In March 2025, FPWR announced the launch of the Global Schaaf-Yang Syndrome Registry, expanding its scope to include this related condition.
