Management of genetic obesity and food seeking behaviour e d in BBS ALSTRÖM PRADER WILLI syndromes

Genetic obesity is associated with difficulties in the regulation of appetite and satiety, often resulting in behavioural difficulties around food and consequent severe obesity. GLP-1 agonists affect appetite and satiety and may benefit these patients. In this webinar, the role of GLP-1 agonists in genetic obesity conditions such as Bardet Biedl, Alström and Prader-Willi syndromes will be discussed, and the impact of behaviour on the patient and carers will be explored.
