Genetic Disorders of Obesity Program Database
This study is creating a database about children and adolescents with severe obesity that started early in life. It's for individuals seen in the Genetic Disorders of Obesity Program at Texas Children's. Researchers will collect information like your child's measurements, medical and family history, and genetic details. They will also look at lab results and how your child responds to treatments. The main goal is to understand how obesity develops in these children and to figure out which children might benefit most from further testing. This study is currently unclear if it's recruiting new participants.
- Study design
- This is an observational study, meaning researchers will collect information without giving any specific treatments. It plans to include 500 participants.
- What's involved
- You would provide demographic information, body measurements, medical/family history, and complete questionnaires. Genetic information, medical lab results, and responses to treatment options will also be collected.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Information will be collected throughout the study completion, which is an average of 10 years.
