LEPR and morbid obesity: The present study, as opposed to Rosmond’s criticism, does replicate the findings reported by other researchers in the same ethnic group, supporting the consistency of allele and genotype frequency for some LEPR polymorphisms in a specific group of participants; therefore, we propose that the rs1805134 SNP is interesting and might be involved in morbid obesity; however, more studies are necessary to confirm or reject this hypothesis.
