Aim of the study: Correlate genetic data of patients heterozygous of PCSK1 gene variations with the clinical phenotype.Introduction: Heterozygous variants of the PCSK1 gene have been described in cases of early onset of morbid obesity in childhood. This gene encodes prohormone convertase 1/3 enzyme, a serine endoprotease expressed in neuroendocrine cells that converts inactive prohormones into functional hormones importa...
