Identification and Characteristics of Novel Mutations in Nonsyndromic Monogenic Obesity.

Abstract excerpt

Nonsyndromic monogenic obesity (NSMO) is a class of individual obesity that is independent of the environment and caused by a single gene mutation. It is mostly caused by mutations in LEP, LEPR, PCSK1, as well as some rare mutations in UCP3, NR0B2, and PPARG. Among 30 obesity patients, five patients are identified with positive gene detection. For the first time, the c.624C>T mutation associated with PCSK1, and...
