International genetic obesity registry study
Part of Genetic & congenital, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must have a confirmed gene change linked to obesity (like a variant classified as ACMG 3-5)
- Or, you or your child had severe obesity starting before age 5 (BMI at least 120% of the 95th percentile or 35 or higher) and genetic testing was done
- You must be able to understand the study and agree to take part (or a guardian can give permission)

This study aims to develop better ways to measure how overweight or obesity affects your life, including severity, quality of life, and costs. You will fill out surveys to help researchers understand your experience.
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 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 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.
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.
This study looks at how genes and lifestyle affect obesity risk. It includes adults aged 18 to 70 with different weight levels, from overweight to severe obesity.
