Obesity and Diabetes Risk Assessment Package

Obesity and Diabetes are conditions that can be misdiagnosed and require mandatory genetic evaluation.

Obesity and Diabetes Genetic Risk Assessment Package

Obesity and diabetes are among the most significant global health problems. These two conditions often coexist in many patients; however, in some individuals, only obesity or only diabetes may be observed. A substantial proportion of the diseases leading to these conditions are of genetic origin, and follow-up and treatment algorithms may differ accordingly. Patients who do not receive an accurate diagnosis have a higher likelihood of developing additional health problems in the long term. Therefore, in order to ensure that individuals receive appropriate treatment throughout their lives, it is essential to investigate the underlying causes of obesity and diabetes.
