PRADORT Rare Diseases Reference Center (Prader-Willi Syndrome and other rare forms of obesity with eating disorders)directed by Christine Poitou-BernertAn expert center in the genetics of obesity, its objective is to recognize and manage forms of obesity linked to rare diseases or genetic factors.
The adult PRADORT CRMR at Pitié-Salpêtrière, coordinated by Pr Poitou-Bernert, provides multidisciplinary management of severe or complicated obesity and rare forms of obesity for patients in Île-de-France, based on the adult and pediatric nutrition teams. He is in close contact with the endocrinology services of the IE3M, in particular within the framework of the TransEnd transition program.
The center also ensures the organization of medical and non-medical care in Ile-de-France as part of the management of these types of obesity.
At the national level, it coordinates the management of rare genetic forms of obesity through Disciplinary Consultation Meetings and its active participation in the DéfiScience sector.
The team coordinated the drafting of a Generic National Obesity Diagnosis and Care Program (PNDS) for rare causes ( https://www.has-sante.fr/jcms/p_3280217/fr/generique-obesites-de- rare-causes ).
She has developed a web-based tool to help clinicians guide genetic diagnosis Obsgen ( http://obsgen.nutriomics.org/ ).
A specific therapeutic education program for the patient (ETP) and his entourage was recently submitted to the ARS. A database of phenotypes, promoted by the AP-HP has been in place since 2020 (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04604626).Pathologies monitored
- Prader-Willi syndrome and other syndromic obesity
- Monogenic obesity
Number of patients followed
The CRMR’s active file is approximately 600 adult patients
Lines of research
- New drug treatments
- Phenotyping in particular of eating behavior

Fr). It concerns more particularly Cardiomyopathies on the one hand and Rhythm/conduction Disorders on the other hand. Collectively, these are the main causes of sudden death and heart failure in young people. The center is structured in the form of a multidisciplinary network and a technical platform to ensure optimal overall medical care. It is backed by strong research activity, particularly in connection with UMR1166_SU/Inserm.Pathologies monitored
- Dilated cardiomyopathy
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Restrictive cardiomyopathy
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy
- Non-compaction of the left ventricle
- Fabry disease
- Cardiac amyloidosis
- Brugada syndrome
- Long QT syndrome
- Short QT syndrome
- Catecholergic ventricular tachycardia
Number of patients followed
The Pitié-Salpêtrière coordinating site represents more than 3000 patients seen per year in consultation or hospitalization and more than 3000 genetic tests carried out per year on the diseases concerned.
The site is the co-author of treatment recommendations at a national level (National Diagnostic and Care Protocols, expert consensus) and international level (recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology, the European Society of Human Genetics).
Lines of research
Our teams coordinate and participate in numerous national and international research programs , in particular on the clinical characterization of these diseases, prognostic stratification, identification of the genetic factors involved, understanding of the physiopathology, development of new therapeutic strategies.
These programs have enabled the recruitment of large cohorts of patients (with phenotypic and genetic data), among the largest in Europe and in the world. The CRMR has also developed a collection of bioresources, in particular to generate cardiomyocytes from iPS cells.Find out moreCHU Pitie Salpetriere47 boulevard de l’Hôpital PARIS cedex 13Cardiology Secretariat:

Endocrinology Department of Prof. Sophie CHRISTIN-MAITRE, AP-HP, Saint-Antoine Hospital, ParisThe PRISIS network includes the Rare Diseases Reference Center (Endocrinology, Saint-Antoine Hospital, AP-HP) and 21 competence centers spread over the national territory. Its scope of expertise includes severe insulin resistance syndromes, including lipodystrophic syndromes and accelerated aging syndromes, neonatal diabetes, monogenic diabetes and syndromic diabetes in children and adults. The PRISIS network has a mission of recourse, research, expertise, teaching, training, and coordination of care in connection with the rare endocrine diseases sector (FIRENDO) and patient associations.Number of patients followed
Active file of 150 patients followed at the Reference Center (severe insulin resistance syndromes and/or adult lipodystrophy)
Lines of research
- Clinical and metabolic characterization of severe insulin resistance and/or lipodystrophy syndromes and diagnostic aid
- Molecular bases and cellular modeling of severe insulin resistance syndromes and/or lipodystrophy
- Care pathway and patient quality of life
- Therapeutic innovation
