Diagnostic Approach to Genetic Obesity in Children: From Pathophysiology to Precision Medicine

2026-08-11

Abstract excerpt

Childhood obesity is a major global health concern with a strong heritable component. While most cases are polygenic and environmentally driven, a subset of children present with rare genetic forms of obesity, including syndromic and monogenic disorders. Over the past three decades, advances in gene discovery—from candidate gene studies to genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and next-generation sequencing (NGS)...
