Reviews

This is a great reference for both monogenic and multisystem genetic syndromes associated with obesity. This is the first book that I've seen that covers this increasingly important topic in such detail. It is an important book for anyone interested in obesity and its causes. * Ronald N. Cohen, MD, in Doody's *
