Leptin Gene Test
This test is for your baby if he/she often asks for food, and puts on weight like Sumo wrestler within first few months/years of his/hers life!
The congenital leptin deficiency genetic test is a beacon of hope for individuals struggling with severe obesity and related health issues. This revolutionary test detects the presence of genetic mutations that lead to a complete absence of leptin, a crucial hormone regulating energy balance and metabolism. By identifying this rare genetic disorder, healthcare providers can provide targeted treatment and support, potentially transforming the lives of those affected. With early detection and intervention, individuals can break free from the cycle of severe obesity and related complications, embracing a healthier and more vibrant future. The congenital leptin deficiency genetic test shines a light on the complex relationship between genetics and weight management, illuminating a path towards personalized care and improved well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Congenital leptin deficiency is diagnosed based on a clinical examination, symptoms and the results of laboratory and genetic testing. Because there are several inherited conditions that include excessive hunger and early-onset obesity, genetic testing may be done to help make a specific diagnosis.
Congenital leptin deficiency is caused by mutations in the LEP gene. This gene provides instructions for making a hormone called leptin, which is involved in the regulation of body weight. Normally, the body’s fat cells release leptin in proportion to their size.
Congenital leptin deficiency (CLD) is a rare autosomal recessive form of monogenic obesity caused by loss-of-function mutations in the leptin gene.
Leptin is an appetite suppressant. When everything works the right way, it helps you maintain a healthy weight by balancing the amount of food you eat with how much fat you have. More specifically, high leptin levels tell your brain “your fat cells are full,” which makes you less hungry.
