Obesity is a frequent disease mainly caused by environmental/polygenic factors and more rarely caused by the alteration of a single gene ("monogenic obesity"). The diagnosis of these rare forms can lead to personalized management (new treatments, prognosis, adapted hygienic and dietary rules) and family screening. The use of a panel covering the known causes of monogenic obesity on a pediatric cohort of severe and early obesity will allow to evaluate the relevance of these analyses to adapt the management of this type of patients.
