A comprehensive account of genetic mechanisms of obesity and an analysis of obesity phenotypes and genotypes, gene polymorphisms and mutations, and results from animal model research and genetic studies in human models. Presenting the impact of genetic factors in obesity development and molecules related to the pathophysiology of obesity, this source pinpoints pathways for the prevention and management of obesity in various populations.
Obesity presents:
• genetic obesity-causing factors, including: quantitative genetics, interactions with the environment, heterogeneity, and metabolic conditions
• investigates medical human disorders that cause obesity, such as Bardet Biedl and Prader Willi syndromes, anomalies of the melanocortin pathway
• studies of obesity syndromes highlighting genetic underpinnings and polymorphisms in common obesity forms
• information collected from an international team of expert researchers and clinicians
