Morbid obesity and hyperphagia in the WAGR syndrome
Abstract
A 33-year-old man with WAGR syndrome is described with morbid obesity associated with hyperphagia and an apparent lack of satiety. It is possible that a gene associated with satiety is present at 11p13 although it is premature to conclude that obesity is a specific feature of WAGR syndrome.
