POMC
CUI: C0028754
Disease:
Obesity
0.030 GeneticVariation BEFREE These results show that a) the R236G substitution of POMC gene, although not a major cause of obesity among Italian obese children and adolescents, is associated with early onset obesity, and that b) inherited alterations of the melanocortin signaling pathway, independently of the degree of obesity, do not preclude the possibility to lose weight in mutated individuals following a hypocaloric diet. 16682835 2006

POMC
CUI: C0028754
Disease:
Obesity
0.030 GeneticVariation BEFREE These results suggest that the R236G mutation may confer an inherited susceptibility to obesity through the production of an aberrant fusion protein that has the capacity to interfere with central melanocortin signalling. 12165561 2002
