SEVERELY OBESE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

SEVERELY OBESE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

PROFILE: Severely Obese Individuals (adults, children)

GOALS:
To assess the genetic factors predisposing individuals and families to develop severe obesity.

STUDY:
Molecular Genetic Analysis of Obesity

discussing and signing an informed consent
family and medical history
measurements - weight and height, blood drawing

TIME COMMITMENT: We require a one time meeting for approximately 30 minutes to one hour.

BENEFITS:
We offer $25 per particpant.

The collective participation of many individuals and families with severe obesity will enable physicians and scientists to gain a better understanding of the genetic causes of these diseases, and ultimately to find better ways of treating (and preventing) these problems.
