PROFESSIONALS

Recruit a Patient

 

We are always happy to receive new referrals to the Genetics of Obesity Study (GOOS).  We require some clinical and anthropometric information and blood samples for measurement of leptin, insulin and for DNA extraction.

 

 

The entry criteria for our study are:

Severe obesity (BMI > 3SD above the mean) of early onset (before age 10 years).


We are particularly interested in patients:

 

  1. from consanguineous families
  2. with a family history of early-onset obesity
  3. with developmental delay

 

 
If you have any questions about the suitability of a patient, which samples to send, how to send them or any other questions, please contact us
