NCT ID NCT01396096

First seen Apr 01, 2026 · Last updated Jun 18, 2026 · Updated 11 times

Summary

This study looked at the genes of 2,500 people who had weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery). The goal was to find out if certain genes are linked to how well the surgery works and if those genes are more common in some ethnic groups. No new treatment was tested; instead, researchers analyzed existing patient data to better understand genetic factors that might influence weight loss after surgery.
