The International Conference on Obesity and Metabolism (IOMC) provides a platform for sharing updated research in obesity genetics, enabling scientists and clinicians to collaborate in determining how genetic insights could yield better, more personalized treatments and preventive strategies against obesity. Advancements in obesity genetics have revealed critical insights into the genetic predisposition to obesity, highlighting numerous genes that influence appetite, fat storage, and energy balance. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified specific locations linked to obesity, providing a deeper understanding of how genetic variations affect body weight regulation. These discoveries open new avenues for personalized treatments, as genetic profiling could help tailor interventions based on an individual's genetic makeup, improving treatment outcomes.
