Analysis of the coding regions of CTBP2 in 462 female patients with AN (acute or recovered), 490 children and adolescents with severe obesity, 445 healthy-lean adult individuals and 168 healthy adult individuals with normal body weight detected 24 variants located in the specific exon of RIBEYE. In the initial analysis, three of these were rare non-synonymous variants (NSVs) detected heterozygously in patients with AN (p.Arg72Trp - rs146900874; p.Val289Met -rs375685611 and p.Gly362Arg - rs202010294). The gene discussed is CTBP2; the disease is obesity disorder.
