This event will hone in on the useful and actionable implications of the genetic influence on common obesity and the substantial heritability of variation in body weight. We will hear from experts in genetics/biology of obesity, as well as a patient representative who will share her experience of living with obesity and her views on how it would have affected both her perceptions and care if she had understood the biology and genetics of obesity.
