Brief description Obesity-associated diseases are leading causes of death and are expected to increase as the obesity epidemic worsens. Because of the limited efficacy and/or safety concerns of currently available anti-obesity drugs, it is important to identify new drug targets. Investigating the cause of obesity and excessive food intake in natural occurring models like Prader Willi Syndrome (PWS) has the potential to shed new light on the complex regulation of this process and might open up new treatment option for PWS as well as general obese patients.
