Weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass in obese patients heterozygous for MC4R mutations.

Obesity surgery - 1 Jul 2011

Aslan Ivy R, Campos Guilherme M, Calton Melissa A, Evans Daniel S, Merriman Raphael B, Vaisse Christian

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Heterozygous mutations in melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) are the most frequent genetic cause of obesity. Bariatric surgery is a successful treatment for severe obesity. The mechanisms of weight loss after bariatric surgery are not well understood. METHODS: Ninety-two patients who had...
