Brief Summary
Syndromic obesity are rare forms of obesity (1% of cases), involving severe obesity and early to multi organ involvement (mental retardation, dysmorphic, sensorineural damage and / or endocrine). To date, the genetic defects are identified in only 5% of cases (Prader-Willi syndrome, Bardet-Biedl syndrome, mutation of leptin or its receptor, the proconvertase-1, proopiomelanocortin or SIM-1 and TRKB genes, high resolution karyotype or abnormal DNA chips, ...). Precocity and severity of obesity are those for a little dependent genetic environment. The investigators aim is to identify new gene variants in subjects with syndromic obesity sharing common phenotypic features.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Presence of exonic variants or onsertions/deletions in subjects with syndromic obesity, not founr in related non-obese subjects
Up to 2 years after the last inclusion
Secondary Outcomes (2)
Number of shared variants in candidate genes among patients with syndromic obesity
Up to 2 years after the last inclusion
Number of unshared variants but located in the same candidate gene among patients with syndromic obesity
Up to 2 years after the last inclusion
Eligibility Criteria
10 unrelated subjects sharing phenotypic features will be selected as their two parents and one unaffected sibling corresponding to a total of 40 subjects.
You may qualify if:
- Patient age ≥ 1 year with no upper age limit, with early onset (age of obesity onset \<6 years) and severe (Z-score of BMI ≥ + 3DS) obesity associated with psychomotor retardation or mental , food impulsiveness, +/- dysmorphy and / or endocrine abnormalities
You may not qualify if:
- Identified syndromic obesity
