Background: Patients with rare monogenic obesity caused by biallelic variants of genes such as proopiomelanocortin (POMC; including variants in PCSK1) or leptin receptor (LEPR) deficiency, experience hyperphagia (a pathologic, insatiable hunger) and early-onset, severe obesity. This suggests potential increased risk over time of obesity-related comorbidities, including metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions associated with increased risk of cardiovascular...

Objectives: Hyperphagia and severe obesity may result from impaired melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) signaling due to rare biallelic variants in POMC or PCSK1 (proopiomelanocortin [POMC] deficiency) or LEPR (leptin receptor [LEPR] deficiency), Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) or acquired hypothalamic obesity (HO). Previously, setmelanotide in patients aged 2-17 years was well tolerated and improved weight-related measures and hunger severit...
