Reuters | Latest Financial News / Full News Coverage: "NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Changes to a gene involved in the regulation of body weight may contribute to weight gain in a very small number of obese individuals, new research reports.

Investigators found that people with these changes, or mutations, to the gene encoding the melanocortin-4 receptor (MC4R) were much heavier than people who did not carry a mutation."
