The documentary Prader-Willi Syndrome: A Life Unexpected, follows a number of British individuals with the incurable genetic disorder, Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS). This disorder, which was first described in 1956 by Andrea Prader, Heinrich Willi, Alexis Labhart, Andrew Ziegler and Guido Fanconi of Switzerland affects an estimated 1 in 25,000 to 1 in 10,000 live births.

The disorder is caused by a deletion or unexpressed set of seven genes on chromosome 15 (q 11-13) on the paternal chromosome. The particular region of chromosome 15 that is affected is subject to parent of origin imprinting, meaning that only one copy of the gene is expressed while the other is silenced through imprinting. In the case of PWS it is usually the maternal copy that is expressed while the paternal copy is silenced. This means that most people have one functioning copy of these genes but those with PWS have no working copies.
