Leptin in obesity

19 Oct 1996

Abstract excerpt

Obesity runs in families, mainly due to genetic factors.1 Several different mendelian inherited, monogenic forms of obesity exist in rodents, but they are rare in humans.1 Analysis of the distribution of fatness in families suggests that a few major genes may act on a polygenic and environmental background, but it remains unclear which genes are involved.1 The identification and sequencing of the mouse obese...
