Description
The leptin–melanocortin pathway is pivotal in appetite and energy homeostasis. Pathogenic variants in genes involved in this pathway lead to severe early-onset monogenic obesity (MO). The MC4R gene plays a central role in leptin–melanocortin signaling, and heterozygous variants in this gene are the most common cause of MO.
