Obesity and diabetes are among the world’s most significant health challenges.
While these two conditions often occur together, in some patients they may appear independently—either as obesity alone or diabetes alone. A large portion of the underlying causes of these disorders are genetic diseases, and the management and treatment algorithms may vary accordingly.
Patients who do not receive the correct diagnosis are at a higher risk of facing additional complications in the long term. Therefore, in order to ensure that individuals receive appropriate and effective treatments throughout their lives, it is essential to investigate the genetic causes of both diabetes and obesity.
