The Tip of the Iceberg: Genotype of Puerto Rican Pediatric Obesity.

Genes - 22 Mar 2024

Melendez-Montañez Jesus M, De Jesus-Rojas Wilfredo

Abstract excerpt

Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern, particularly among Hispanic populations. This study aimed to elucidate the genetic predisposition to obesity in Puerto Rican children of Hispanic descent, addressing a notable gap in existing research. A cohort of 103 children with obesity and hyperphagia underwent genetic screening for rare obesity-related variants. Clinical assessments and family history...
