Rare Obesity

Rare Obesity

The Rare Obesity Study Group developed a dataset based on the information gathered by the surveys and the MTG on Growth and Obesity expertise. The dataset, built in the Core Registry platform as an online module, is available since November 2022 and open to all reporters registering cases of syndromic and non-syndromic genetic obesity both in children and adults.

Want to start using the module? Get access to the Core Registry and read the instructions (, 1 MB) on how to use the module.
