A new highly penetrant form of obesity due to deletions on chromosome 16p11.2

Robin G. Walters, +108 more
- 04 Feb 2010 - 
TL;DR: A highly penetrant form of obesity is reported, initially observed in 31 subjects who were heterozygous for deletions of at least 593 kilobases at 16p11.2 and whose ascertainment included cognitive deficits, which highlights a promising strategy for identifying missing heritability in obesity and other complex traits.

Mirror extreme BMI phenotypes associated with gene dosage at the chromosome 16p11.2 locus

Sébastien Jacquemont, +182 more
- 06 Oct 2011 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the reciprocal duplication is associated with being clinically underweight, which is the main sign of a series of heterogeneous clinical conditions including failure to thrive, feeding and eating disorder and/or anorexia nervosa.

Mirror extreme BMI phenotypes associated with gene dosage at the chromosome 16p11.2 locus

Sébastien Jacquemont, +180 more
TL;DR: The reciprocal impact of these 16p11.2 copy-number variants indicates that severe obesity and being underweight could have mirror aetiologies, possibly through contrasting effects on energy balance.
