Identify news genetic causes of different type of obesity (syndromic, familial or isolated obesity) by highlighting new mutations or new implied genes
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
300
A blood test will be performed to the child and his/her parents with the aim of identifying genetic causes of obesity. Different analysis will be as follows: caryotypes, Raindance, whole exome, in order to find potential mutations or new genes associated to this condition

RECRUITINGTo identify the number of mutations or genes involved in genetic causes of Child obesity
Children with obesity and their parents will be recruited to establish genetic causes of obesity. This will allow perform genetic analysis using new approaches for the identification of involved mutations or new candidate genes
Time frame: first day of enrollement
To identify the number of mutations in the population
Time frame: first day of enrollement
To identify the number of new mutations present in the children's DNA and absent from their parents' genomes
This approach will allow the identification of specific mutations that are present only in affected children but not in their parents
Time frame: first day of enrollement
To determine number of phenotypes associated to the child obesity genotype
Time frame: first day of enrollement
