Indeed, the extreme hyperphagia, early-onset obesity and debilitating food seeking behaviors associated with Prader-Willi Syndrome, in which ghrelin levels are found to elevated and abnormally regulated, represent much more extreme phenotypes than the mouse models of ghrelin over expression would predict (Feigerlova et al., 2008; Hinton et al., 2010). The gene discussed is GHRL; the disease is obesity disorder.
