Official title
Association of Genetic Variants in Obesity Genes to Resistance to Weight Loss and Susceptibility to Metabolic Syndrome in Morbidly Obese Patients: A Single Center, Blinded, Retrospective Clinical Study
Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
The overall goal of this study is to determine whether variations in the perilipin, and several other, genes would be a useful tool for physicians who are caring for morbidly obese patients to guide therapy. The main hypotheses to be tested is that sequence variations (polymorphisms) in the perilipin gene and several other obesity-related genes are associated with resistance to weight loss for obese individuals on energy restricted diets, potentially playing a role in the development of obesity related complications.
