Melanacortin receptor as coded for by MC4R the gene predicts general weight gain but also susceptibility to Antipsychotic induced massive weight gain (along with the 5htc3 and DRD2) receptors. There is some decent work from Hillside hospital back in the day on this topic.
Thanks Owen. I am an internist who has been at it a long time. We are learning more and more about how all illness is related. The distinction between mental and physical illness is entirely artificial. We are learning enough about epigenetics and molecular biology to make primary care much more effective.
I am curious about the relationship of the MC4R coded receptor and leptin genetics
Thanks Owen. That is something that I just don't know about. There is a relation between leptin and that receptor.

Could not agree more.
Dammit. This is probably gonna be another article. OK. Thank you.

Thanks
Excellent summary of an important topic . Thank you .
Great to hear from you
