We examined 12 monogenic obesity genes in 72 Portuguese individuals with overweight and obesity (class 1 and class 2), some of which with suspected genetic obesity, to identify known or unknown potential obesity variants. Genomic DNA was analyzed for variants in genes LEP, LEPR, MC4R, POMC, PCSK1, BDNF, NTRK2, SIM1, SH2B1, UCP3, GCG and ADCY3 through next generation sequencing (NGS). The impact of the rare...
