CPs, by virtue of their hypothalamic location, have the potential to disrupt energy homeostasis at many levels, resulting in a complex clinical picture of HO syndrome characterized by severe obesity associated with leptin-resistance, fatigue, hyperphagia, impaired satiety, decreased sympathetic tone, and low energy expenditure [27,28,36,52,75,76,77,78]. The gene discussed is LEP; the disease is Obesity.
