Genetic etiology and clinical features of non-syndromic pediatric obesity in the Chinese population: a large cohort study
Our findings highlight the genetic heterogeneity of non-syndromic pediatric obesity and identify UCP3 and MC4R as potential hotspot genes in the Chinese population. The study underscores the potential of genetic testing for early diagnosis and personalized management of pediatric obesity.
