Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVES: Genetic factors have a key role in childhood obesity with higher rates in children than adults. Among the monogenic types of non-syndromic obesity, melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency is the most frequent cause. Beside pathogenic variants, single-nucleotide polymorphisms in MC4R gene are also associated with lower energy expenditure. The aim of this study was to estimate the frequency of MC4R...
