Rare inactivating mutations in the MC4R gene are among the most common monogenic mutations for obesity (Farooqi et al., 2003; Stutzmann et al., 2008; Vaisse et al., 2000), but few prior studies have analyzed gene sequencing data and performed clinical grade variant classification in a large population of unascertained adults.
