Farooqi Lab
Professor Sadaf Farooqi’s lab at the University of Cambridge. We study the fundamental mechanisms controlling human energy homeostasis to identify treatments for obesity.
- In a paper just published in Nature Medicine, we characterised the largest cohort of people with loss-of-function mutations in the Melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) gene. DOI: doi.org/10.1038/s415... (1/6)
- Despite severe obesity, MC4R deficient people had lower LDL-cholesterol, triglycerides and cardiovascular risk compared to people in UK Biobank of the same age and BMI. (2/6)
