A practical guide to the clinical assessment and investigation of obesity / I. Sadaf Farooqi -- Human leptin and leptin receptor deficiency / I. Sadaf Farooqi and Stephen O'Rahilly -- Pro-opiomelanocortin deficiency / Heike Krude and Annette Gr�uters -- Prohormone convertase 1 / Robert S. Jackson -- Human melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency / I. Sadaf Farooqi and Stephen O'Rahilly -- Albrights hereditary osteodystrophy, pseudoparathyroidism and other GNAS-associated syndromes / Louise C. Wilson -- The clinical and molecular genetics of Alstr�om syndrome / Gayle B. Collin [and others] -- The clinical, molecular and functional genetics of Bardet-Biedl syndrome / Alison Ross, Philip L. Beales and Josephine Hill -- The B�orjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome / Joanna Crawford [and others] -- Cohen syndrome / Kate E. Chandler, Forbes D.C. Manson -- Prader-Willi syndrome / Rachel Wevrick -- Syndromes with obesity / Philip L. Beales, Raoul Hennekam.
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.
