This syndrome has no cure. However, several treatments are in place to lessen the condition’s symptoms. Growth hormone replacement therapy improves body composition and increases linear height.

During the school years, children benefit from a highly structured learning environment as well as extra help. Throughout their lives, the subject’s food should literally be kept under lock and key, since the largest problem associated with the syndrome is severe obesity.
