First seen Mar 30, 2026 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 8 times
Summary
This study looks back at medical records of 500-800 children aged 2-18 who had severe obesity starting before age 5 and already received NHS genetic tests. Researchers want to learn how often these tests find a genetic cause and which symptoms (like developmental delays or eating behaviors) make a positive result more likely. No new tests or visits are needed—only anonymized data is used.
