Study for children with very high body size measurements
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study is building a program database for children who have unusually high body size measurements for their age. By collecting genetic and health information, researchers hope to better understand causes of obesity and guide care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be at least 2 years old with a body mass index (BMI) higher than the 97th percent for your age
- If under 2 years old, have a weight-to-length ratio higher than the 95th percent for your age
- No other health exclusions are listed for this study

This study looks at how eating, body factors (like weight), and behavior may relate to genetics in healthy children. Your child’s participation could help researchers understand why eating habits differ between families.
This study tests a program designed to help children ages 6 to 12 with severe obesity. It focuses on lifestyle changes like healthy eating and physical activity to improve your child's health.
This study looks for genetic (inherited) reasons for severe obesity that starts in very early childhood. It may help doctors better understand the cause of your child’s weight gain and guide future treatment.
This study is creating a worldwide registry for people with genetic forms of obesity. It aims to learn more about these conditions and may help develop better treatments in the future.
This study looks at genetic causes of severe obesity that started very early in life (before age 5). If your child has had genetic testing as part of a weight clinic visit, their data may help researchers learn more.
This study aims to improve diagnosis and treatment planning for people with severe obesity—especially when it may be related to a genetic cause or a brain condition affecting appetite. You may be invited if your case includes clues from your history or symptoms, and you can consent to genetic testing discussions as part of usual care.
