Clinical and Functional Characterization of Melanocortin 4 Receptor genetic variants in African American and/or Hispanic children with severe early onset obesity.

2018-12-10

Abstract excerpt

Context: Mutations in melanocortin receptor (MC4R) are the most frequent cause of monogenic obesity in children of European ancestry, but little is known about their prevalence in children from minority populations in the United States. <h4>Objective:</h4> This study aims to identify the prevalence of MC4R mutations in children with severe early onset obesity of African-American and/or Latina ancestry. Design and...
