NPM1 and Prader-Willi syndrome: Corrplots were calculated with R4.2.2 by using the Hmisc, Performance Analytics, and Corrplot packages Results: Our investigation explored the potential genetic underpinnings of the circulating protein signature observed in PWS, revealing intricate connections between genes in the PWS critical region and the identified circulating proteins associated with impaired oxytocin, NAD metabolism, and sex-related neuromuscular impairment involving, CD38, KYNU, NPM1, NMNAT1, WFIKKN1, and GDF-8/MSTN.
