Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Rare cases of monogenic obesity, which may respond to specific therapeutics, can remain undetected in populations in which polygenic obesity is prevalent. This study examined rare DNA variation in established monogenic obesity genes within a community using whole-exome sequence data from 6803 longitudinally studied individuals. METHODS: Exome data across 15 monogenic obesity genes were analyzed for...
