Abstract

Childhood obesity is a growing problem, with metabolic implications such as cardiovascular
disease and diabetes. Although environmental factors play a role, studies suggest a genetic component,
specifically the association of the LEP G-2548A polymorphism of the leptin gene with obesity. This
polymorphism may affect the secretion of leptin, a crucial hormone in the regulation of adiposity.
