Genetic risk score based on obesity-related genes and progression in weight loss after bariatric surgery: a 60-month follow-up study
Obesity is a polygenic multifactorial disease. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several common loci associated with obesity-related phenotypes. Bariatric surgery (BS) is the most effective long-term treatment for severe obesity. Huge variability in BS outcome between patients, suggests a moderating effect of several factors, including the genetic architecture of the patients.
