Prader-Willi syndrome is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body. People with Prader-Willi syndrome typically have mental retardation or learning disabilities and behavioral problems. Some people with prader-willi syndrome have an insatiable appetite which lead to obesity.
Gene name is Prader-Willi syndrome chromosome region (homo sapiens) PWRC, and Gene ID is 6638.
The protein plays a role in a pre-MRNA processing, possibly tissue specific alternative splicing events. The protein arises from a bicistronic transcript that also encodes a protein identified as the small nuclear ribonucleoprotein (SNRPN) upstream reading frame (SNURF).

The Gene ID 6638 is associated with this updated gene name: SNRPN small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N.
