[Major gene mutations associated with obesity and diabetes mellitus].

Abstract excerpt

Obesity and diabetes mellitus are associated with low or elevated serum leptin and insulin levels (U-like relation). Mutations in LEP and INS are linked to leptin and insulin decrease while mutations in LEPR and INSR to their increase. Homozygous LEP mutations are associated with the early onset of severe obesity and diverse impairment of physiological functions. Recessive LEPR mutations are associated with...
