DOI: 10.1515/jpem-2021-0756
Abstract: Abstract Objectives Genetic factors have a key role in childhood obesity with higher rates in children than adults. Among the monogenic types of non-syndromic obesity, melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) deficiency is the most frequent cause. Beside… read more here.
