SADAF FAROOQI, Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge UK
Gene defects and mutations could be markers for early onset obesity. This is according to a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine which concludes that the leptin receptor should be further explored as a cause of obesity, along with other genetic factors emerging from a multinational study called: the Genetics of Obesity Study. Sarah Maxwell heard the latest from Sadaf Farooqi in Cambridge, England.
