Cardiovascular Risk and Diseases in Patients With and Without Leptin-Melanocortin Pathway Variants.
To study differences in cardiovascular risk factors and diseases between patients with and without genetic variants in the leptin-melanocortin pathway. ⋯ Despite having similar body weight and BMI, carriers of heterozygous variants in the leptin-melanocortin pathway had higher rates of hypertension than noncarriers. These findings point to an association between hypertension and leptin-melanocortin pathway variants.
