Exome Sequencing Data Links ADCY3 to Severe Obesity

Jan 08, 2018

|

NEW YORK (GenomeWeb) – Loss-of-function mutations in ADCY3 cause severe obesity, according to a series of new studies in Nature Genetics.

Obesity contributes to the deaths of some 2.8 million people a year, and while it is a highly heritable disease, previous genetic studies have only been able to account for a portion of obesity cases.
