This project will explore how the gut microbiome influences metabolic health in PWS. Dr. Haqq is collaborating with one of the world’s leading metabolomics lab (Dr. David Wishart) to characterize ‘metabolite’ profiles in children and adolescents with PWS and explore the links between blood metabolites, the gut microbe, and metabolic health in...
The probiotic supplement, BPL1, shows promise improving metabolism and behavior in people with PWS, but more work is needed to understand how this gut microbiome intervention can be optimized. This project aims to understand how probiotic supplementation improves metabolic and mental health in individuals with PWS by influencing brain circuits...
Our project aims to test the hypothesis that alterations in certain specific lipid sensors and mediators in the hypothalamus may contribute to the disrupted feeding behavior and the altered metabolic phenotype associated with PWS at different stages of postnatal development. These studies will try to reverse the metabolic alterations observed...
