These findings align with those reported for other obesity-associated genes (MRAP2, KSR2, and PHIP) (10, 21, 22), where rare heterozygous variants are associated with obesity but are not always causative, in contrast to the classical monogenic obesity syndromes that follow an autosomal recessive (LEP, LEPR, POMC, and PCSK1) or dominant (MC4R, SIM1, and GNAS) mode of inheritance (1). Here, MC4R is linked to obesity disorder.
