NCT ID NCT01998750
Summary
This study aims to understand the genetic causes of severe obesity that starts very early in childhood. Researchers will enroll 500 children and adults who were severely obese before age 6, ask health questions, perform a brief exam, and collect saliva or blood for genetic testing. The goal is to identify rare genetic changes that might explain why some children develop extreme obesity.
