Obesity in patients with craniopharyngioma in the South Asian region – A distinct phenotype
South Asian phenotype of craniopharyngioma-related obesity is characterized by significant metabolic and hormonal dysregulation, influenced by both dietary and genetic factors. Nevertheless, there may be a lot to be still understood about this devastating, rapid, relentless hypothalamic obesity syndrome. Also, a higher morbidity rate within this population, underscores the need for further research to develop targeted interventions.
