Obesity is one of the most important contributing factors to
disease throughout the world and is an area of great current
interest among researchers and clinicians. The genetics of common
obesity is complex, and an important thread through this labyrinth
is the study of genetic syndromes in which obesity is a major
component. By examining the genetic mechanisms of obesity in these
syndromes, the authors will shed new light on the genetics of
common obesity. This is the first book on this important and
exciting new area and addreses both the molecular and clinical
features of the obesity syndromes, providing hard-core information
for researchers and practical guidelines for clinicians caring for
obese patients.
The book is divided into three sections: the first covers
approaches for assessing and investigating the obese individual;
the second describes nondysmorphic, monogenic forms of obesity; and
the third documents key, multisystem obesity syndromes with various
genetic etiologies. It is as much a reference book as it is a
manual and will appeal to clinical geneticists, obesity
researchers, endocrinologists, nutritionists, and medical
biologists.
