Abstract: Emerging evidence suggests that obesity impacts brain physiology at multiple levels. Here we aimed to clarify the relationship between obesity and brain structure using structural MRI (n = 6420) and genetic data (n = 3907) from the ENIGMA Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) working group. Obesity (BMI > 30) was significantly associated with cortical and subcortical abnormalities in both mass-univariate and multivariate pattern recognition analyses independent of MDD diagnosis. The most pronounced effects were found for associations between obesity and lower temporo-frontal cortical thickness (maximum Cohen´s d (left fusiform gyrus) = −0.33). The observed regional distribution and effect size of cortical thickness reductions in obesity revealed considerable similarities with corresponding patterns of lower cortical thickness in previously published studies of neuropsychiatric disorders. A higher polygenic risk score for obesity significantly correlated with lower occipital surface area. In addition, a significant age-by-obesity interaction on cortical thickness emerged driven by lower thickness in older participants. Our findings suggest a neurobiological interaction between obesity and brain structure under physiological and pathological brain conditions.

Abstract: Activation of uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) upon cold stimulation leads to substantial increase in energy expenditure to defend body temperature. Increases in energy expenditure after a high-caloric food intake, termed diet-induced thermogenesis, are also attributed to BAT. These properties render BAT a potential target to combat diet-induced obesity. However, studies investigating the role of UCP1 to protect against diet-induced obesity are controversial and rely on the phenotyping of a single constitutive UCP1-knockout model. To address this issue, we generated a novel UCP1-knockout model by Cre-mediated deletion of exon 2 in the UCP1 gene. We studied the effect of constitutive UCP1 knockout on metabolism and the development of diet-induced obesity. UCP1 knockout and wild-type mice were housed at 30°C and fed a control diet for 4 wk followed by 8 wk of high-fat diet. Body weight and food intake were monitored continuously over the course of the study, and indirect calorimetry was used to determine energy expenditure during both feeding periods. Based on Western blot analysis, thermal imaging and noradrenaline test, we confirmed the lack of functional UCP1 in knockout mice. However, body weight gain, food intake, and energy expenditure were not affected by loss of UCP1 function during both feeding periods. We introduce a novel UCP1-KO mouse enabling the generation of conditional UCP1-knockout mice to scrutinize the contribution of UCP1 to energy metabolism in different cell types or life stages. Our results demonstrate that UCP1 does not protect against diet-induced obesity at thermoneutrality.NEW & NOTEWORTHY We provide evidence that the abundance of UCP1 does not influence energy metabolism at thermoneutrality studying a novel Cre-mediated UCP1-KO mouse model. This model will be a foundation for a better understanding of the contribution of UCP1 in different cell types or life stages to energy metabolism.

Abstract: Objective To systematically investigate causal relationships between obesity and cerebrovascular disease and the extent to which hypertension and hyperglycemia mediate the effect of obesity on cerebrovascular disease. Methods We used summary statistics from genome-wide association studies for body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), and multiple cerebrovascular disease phenotypes. We explored causal associations with 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) accounting for genetic covariation between BMI and WHR, and we assessed what proportion of the association between obesity and cerebrovascular disease was mediated by systolic blood pressure (SBP) and blood glucose levels, respectively. Results Genetic predisposition to higher BMI did not increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease. In contrast, for each 10% increase in WHR there was a 75% increase (95% confidence interval [CI] = 44-113%) in risk for large artery ischemic stroke, a 57% (95% CI = 29-91%) increase in risk for small vessel ischemic stroke, a 197% increase (95% CI = 59-457%) in risk of intracerebral hemorrhage, and an increase in white matter hyperintensity volume (β = 0.11, 95% CI = 0.01-0.21). These WHR associations persisted after adjusting for genetic determinants of BMI. Approximately one-tenth of the observed effect of WHR was mediated by SBP for ischemic stroke (proportion mediated: 12%, 95% CI = 4-20%), but no evidence of mediation was found for average blood glucose. Interpretation Abdominal adiposity may trigger causal pathological processes, partially independent from blood pressure and totally independent from glucose levels, that lead to cerebrovascular disease. Potential targets of these pathological processes could represent novel therapeutic opportunities for stroke. ANN NEUROL 2020;87:516-524.

Abstract: Summary Objective To investigate which cardiometabolic factors underlie clustering of osteoarthritis with cardiovascular disease, and the extent to which these mediate an effect of education. Design Genome-wide association study (GWAS) of osteoarthritis was performed in UK Biobank (60,800 cases and 328,251 controls) to obtain genetic association estimates for osteoarthritis risk. Genetic instruments and association estimates for body mass index (BMI), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), systolic blood pressure (SBP), smoking and education were obtained from existing GWAS summary data (sample sizes 188,577-866,834 individuals). Two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were performed to investigate the effects of exposure traits on osteoarthritis risk. MR mediation analyses were undertaken to investigate whether the cardiometabolic traits mediate any effect of education on osteoarthritis risk. Results MR analyses identified protective effects of higher genetically predicted education (main MR analysis odds ratio [OR] per standard deviation increase 0.59, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.54-0.64) and LDL-C levels (OR 0.94, 95%CI 0.91-0.98) on osteoarthritis risk, and unfavourable effects of higher genetically predicted BMI (OR 1.82, 95%CI 1.73-1.92) and smoking (OR 2.23, 95%CI 1.85-2.68). There was no strong evidence of an effect of genetically predicted SBP on osteoarthritis risk (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.90-1.06). The proportion of the effect of genetically predicted education mediated through genetically predicted BMI and smoking was 35% (95%CI 13%-57%). Conclusions These findings highlight education, obesity and smoking as common mechanisms underlying osteoarthritis and cardiovascular disease. These risk factors represent clinical and public health targets for reducing multi-morbidity related to the burden these common conditions.

Abstract: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal genes remains challenging. Here we combined data from 718,734 individuals to discover rare and low-frequency (minor allele frequency (MAF) < 5%) coding variants associated with BMI. We identified 14 coding variants in 13 genes, of which 8 variants were in genes (ZBTB7B, ACHE, RAPGEF3, RAB21, ZFHX3, ENTPD6, ZFR2 and ZNF169) newly implicated in human obesity, 2 variants were in genes (MC4R and KSR2) previously observed to be mutated in extreme obesity and 2 variants were in GIPR. The effect sizes of rare variants are ~10 times larger than those of common variants, with the largest effect observed in carriers of an MC4R mutation introducing a stop codon (p.Tyr35Ter, MAF = 0.01%), who weighed ~7 kg more than non-carriers. Pathway analyses based on the variants associated with BMI confirm enrichment of neuronal genes and provide new evidence for adipocyte and energy expenditure biology, widening the potential of genetically supported therapeutic targets in obesity.

Abstract: Metabolic diseases are a worldwide problem but the underlying genetic factors and their relevance to metabolic disease remain incompletely understood. Genome-wide research is needed to characterize so-far unannotated mammalian metabolic genes. Here, we generate and analyze metabolic phenotypic data of 2016 knockout mouse strains under the aegis of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium (IMPC) and find 974 gene knockouts with strong metabolic phenotypes. 429 of those had no previous link to metabolism and 51 genes remain functionally completely unannotated. We compared human orthologues of these uncharacterized genes in five GWAS consortia and indeed 23 candidate genes are associated with metabolic disease. We further identify common regulatory elements in promoters of candidate genes. As each regulatory element is composed of several transcription factor binding sites, our data reveal an extensive metabolic phenotype-associated network of co-regulated genes. Our systematic mouse phenotype analysis thus paves the way for full functional annotation of the genome., The genetic basis of metabolic diseases is incompletely understood. Here, by high-throughput phenotyping of 2,016 knockout mouse strains, Rozman and colleagues identify candidate metabolic genes, many of which are associated with unexplored regulatory gene networks and metabolic traits in human GWAS.

Abstract: Evidence for a critical pathophysiological role of aberrant cytoskeletal dynamics is being uncovered in a growing number of neuropsychiatric syndromes. A sedentary lifestyle as well as overt psychopathology is prevalent in patients with the metabolic syndrome. Using mice deficient in gelsolin (Gsn-/-), a crucial actin-severing protein, we here investigated reduced actin turnover as a potential common driver of metabolic disturbances, sedentary behavior, and an anxious/depressive phenotype. Gelsolin deficiency resulted in reduced lifespan. As compared to wildtype controls, Gsn-/- mice (~ 9 weeks) fed a high-fat diet (HFD) over a span of 12 weeks showed increased body weight gain, fat mass, hepatic steatosis, and adipocyte hypertrophy as well as a significantly reduced respiratory quotient. Moreover, increased rigidity of the actin cytoskeleton in mice on HFD induced mRNA expression of Acc1, Acc2, Fasn, and Lipe, key genes involved in fatty acid metabolism in the liver. Glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity were worsened in Gsn-/- HFD relative to Gsn+/+ HFD mice. Hypertension in Gsn-/- mice was associated with reduced endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) mRNA expression and reduced eNOS protein trafficking to the plasma membrane. Furthermore, acetylcholine-induced cGMP production and relaxation of aortic rings were impaired by actin filament stabilization. Gsn-/- mice on HFD displayed reduced corticosterone concentrations and reduced energy expenditure as compared to Gsn+/+ HFD mice. Moreover, Gsn-/- HFD mice displayed an overall pattern of hypoactive and anxious/depressive-like behavior. In aggregate, our results demonstrate that impaired actin filament dynamics promote the development of key behavioral and physiological aspects of the metabolic syndrome.

Abstract: Few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) account for environmental exposures, like smoking, potentially impacting the overall trait variance when investigating the genetic contribution to obesity-related traits. Here, we use GWAS data from 51,080 current smokers and 190,178 nonsmokers (87% European descent) to identify loci influencing BMI and central adiposity, measured as waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio both adjusted for BMI. We identify 23 novel genetic loci, and 9 loci with convincing evidence of gene-smoking interaction (GxSMK) on obesity-related traits. We show consistent direction of effect for all identified loci and significance for 18 novel and for 5 interaction loci in an independent study sample. These loci highlight novel biological functions, including response to oxidative stress, addictive behaviour, and regulatory functions emphasizing the importance of accounting for environment in genetic analyses. Our results suggest that tobacco smoking may alter the genetic susceptibility to overall adiposity and body fat distribution., A full list of acknowledgments appears in the Supplementary Note 4.

Abstract: Skeletal muscles require energy either at constant low (e.g., standing and posture) or immediate high rates (e.g., exercise). To fulfill these requirements, myocytes utilize the phosphocreatine (PCr)/creatine (Cr) system as a fast energy buffer and shuttle. We have generated mice lacking L-arginine:glycine amidino transferase (AGAT), the first enzyme of creatine biosynthesis. These AGAT(-/-) (d/d) mice are devoid of the PCr/Cr system and reveal severely altered oxidative phosphorylation. In addition, they exhibit complete resistance to diet-induced obesity, which is associated with a chronic activation of AMP-activated protein kinase in muscle and white adipose tissue. The underlying metabolic rearrangements have not yet been further analyzed. Here, we performed gene expression analysis in skeletal muscle and a serum amino acid profile of d/d mice revealing transcriptomic and metabolic alterations in pyruvate and glucose pathways. Differential pyruvate tolerance tests demonstrated preferential conversion of pyruvate to alanine, which was supported by increased protein levels of enzymes involved in pyruvate and alanine metabolism. Pyruvate tolerance tests suggested severely impaired hepatic gluconeogenesis despite increased availability of pyruvate and alanine. Furthermore, enzymes of serine production and one-carbon metabolism were significantly up-regulated in d/d mice, indicating increased de novo formation of one-carbon units from carbohydrate metabolism linked to NAD(P)H production. Besides the well-established function of the PCr/Cr system in energy metabolism, our transcriptomic and metabolic analyses suggest that it plays a pivotal role in systemic one-carbon metabolism, oxidation/reduction, and biosynthetic processes. Therefore, the PCr/Cr system is not only an energy buffer and shuttle, but also a crucial component involved in numerous systemic metabolic processes.

Abstract: SUMMARY Inducers of satiety are drug targets for weight loss to mitigate obesity-associated diseases. Nucleobindin-2 (Nucb2) is thought to be post-translationally processed into bioactive nesfatin-1 peptide, which reportedly induces satiety, causes weight loss, and thus improves insulin sensitivity. Here, we show that deletion of Nucb2 did not affect food intake or adiposity and, instead, caused insulin resistance in mice fed a high-fat diet. In addition, ablation of Nucb2 in orexigenic hypothalamic Agrp neurons did not affect food intake, and nesfatin-1 was detectable in serum, despite global deletion of Nucb2 protein. Upon high-fat diet feeding, the loss of Nucb2 exacerbated metabolic inflammation in adipose tissue macrophages in an NFκB-dependent manner without inducing classical M1 or alternative M2-like macrophage polarization. Furthermore, the loss of Nucb2 in myeloid cells but not in adipocytes mediated the insulin resistance in response to a high-fat diet. Our study reveals that Nucb2 links metabolic inflammation to insulin resistance without affecting weight gain and food intake., In Brief Obesity induces Nucb2 expression in adipose macrophages as an endogenous brake to restrain metabolic inflammation. Ravussin et al. show that ablation of Nucb2 globally or knockdown in orexigenic neurons and adipocytes did not affect food intake or adiposity. The loss of Nucb2 in myeloid cells drive inflammation and insulin resistance upon high-fat feeding., Graphical Abstract

Abstract: OBJECTIVES: Multimorbidity is a risk factor for incident restless legs syndrome (RLS). In this relationship, the potential role of known genetic risk loci for RLS has not been studied. Our aim was to evaluate whether carriers of specific RLS risk alleles have higher comorbidity burden than noncarriers. DESIGN: Two independent, population-based cohort studies in Germany: the Dortmund Health Study (DHS) and the Study of Health in Pomerania (SHIP). SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: Age-stratified, random samples drawn from the respective population registers. DHS included 1,312 subjects and SHIP included 4,308 subjects. MEASUREMENTS: RLS status was assessed according to the RLS standard minimal criteria. A comorbidity index was calculated by summing the scores of the following conditions: diabetes, hypertension, myocardial infarction, obesity, stroke, cancer, renal disease, anemia, depression, thyroid disease, and migraine. Thirteen single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) previously associated with elevated risk of RLS were genotyped. Analyses were carried out on the pooled sample of the two studies. RESULTS: The mean age was 50.4+/-15.9 y, and the proportion of women was 51.4%. The mean number of comorbid conditions was 1.5+/-1.3. In multivariable regression, the mean number of comorbidities was not significantly different between carriers of any of the RLS risk alleles and noncarriers either in the total pooled sample or in those having RLS symptoms. CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results it is unlikely that known genetic risk factors for RLS would lead to increased multimorbidity.

Abstract: Item does not contain fulltext Obesity is heritable and predisposes to many diseases. To understand the genetic basis of obesity better, here we conduct a genome-wide association study and Metabochip meta-analysis of body mass index (BMI), a measure commonly used to define obesity and assess adiposity, in up to 339,224 individuals. This analysis identifies 97 BMI-associated loci (P < 5 x 10(-8)), 56 of which are novel. Five loci demonstrate clear evidence of several independent association signals, and many loci have significant effects on other metabolic phenotypes. The 97 loci account for approximately 2.7% of BMI variation, and genome-wide estimates suggest that common variation accounts for >20% of BMI variation. Pathway analyses provide strong support for a role of the central nervous system in obesity susceptibility and implicate new genes and pathways, including those related to synaptic function, glutamate signalling, insulin secretion/action, energy metabolism, lipid biology and adipogenesis.

Abstract: Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, here we conduct genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals. We identify 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (BMI), and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (P

Abstract: Introduction : Barbed sutures are routinely used for laparotomy, peritoneal and mesenteric closure, but few studies have reported their use for intestinal anastomosis. We proposed their use for totally hand-sewn anastomosis during laparoscopic gastric bypass secured at the end of the suture with an absorbable clip. Materials and Method : Two totally hand-sewn single-layer extramucosal running sutures were performed for side-to-side gastrojejunal and jejuno-jejunal anastomosis during laparoscopic gastric bypass. Each run (anterior and posterior layer) was locked at the end by an absorbable poly-p-dioxanone suture clip. Results : A total of 96 hand-sewn anastomoses were performed. A total of two leaks occurred originating from the jejunaljejunal anastomosis. No cases of leakage from gastrojejunostomy were recorded. Two stenoses of the gastrojejunal anastomosis were recorded. They were successfully treated with three sessions of endoscopic balloon dilatation. No bleeding occurred. Conclusion : In our experience, the suture-related complication rate is comparable with the data reported in the literature. Further studies are needed to address the safety and efficacy of the self-maintained suture in digestive surgery.

Abstract: Objective: The neuropeptide-Y (NP-Y) gene is a strong candidate gene in the pathophysiology of obesity-linked behavior, and several single-nucleotide polymorphisms of NP-Y have already been linked to body weight and appetite. However, the results from current studies remain inconclusive. The aim of the present study was to test whether a certain functional genetic variant (SNP rs16147) in the NP-Y promoter gene is associated with serum leptin levels and body fat distribution. Method: We genotyped and measured the serum leptin levels of the NP-Y rs16147 polymorphism in 1,097 Caucasian subjects in the context of a population-based, case-control multicenter study. We measured weight, height and waist circumference, from which we then calculated BMI and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Results: We found the CT-genotype of the SNP rs16147 to be significantly associated with lower WHRs and higher serum leptin levels in women, compared to homozygote gene carriers. No association between rs16147, WHR and serum leptin levels was found in men. Conclusion: Our results provide evidence that the functionally relevant SNP in the NP-Y promoter gene affects body fat distribution and serum leptin levels in women, pointing towards possible behavioral effects of NPY in obesity.

Abstract: Female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is a common hair loss disorder in women with a complex mode of inheritance. Its etiopathogenesis is poorly understood. Widespread assumptions of overlapping susceptibility variants between FPHL and male pattern baldness (androgenetic alopecia) and a crucial role of androgens or distinct sexual steroid hormones in the development of FPHL could neither be clearly demonstrated nor completely excluded at the molecular level up to date. Interestingly, recent studies suggested an association of metabolic syndrome-including obesity, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension and diabetes mellitus type 2 or abnormally high fasting blood glucose-with FPHL. Of note, mutations in the melanocortin 4 receptor gene (MC4R) have been identified in patients with morbid obesity. Interestingly, this neuropeptide receptor has been detected amongst others in the dermal papilla of the hair follicle. As almost half of our FPHL patients of German origin present with adipositas and/or obesity, we hypothesized as to whether FPHL could be associated with variants of the MC4R gene. Thus, we genotyped a total of six variants from MC4R in our case-control sample comprising 245 UK patients of German and UK origin. However, based on our present study none of the genotyped MC4R variants displayed any significant association, neither in the overall UK and German samples nor in any subgroup analyses. In summary, these results do not point to an involvement of MC4R in FPHL.

Abstract: Several genetic diseases are triggered by nonsense mutations leading to the formation of truncated and defective proteins. Aminoglycosides have the capability to mediate a bypass of stop mutations during translation thus resulting in a rescue of protein expression. So far no attention has been directed to obesity-associated stop mutations as targets for nonsense suppression. Herein, we focus on the characterization of the melanocortin-4-receptor (MC4R) nonsense allele W16X identified in obese subjects. Cell culture assays revealed a loss-of-function of Mc4r(X16) characterized by impaired surface expression and defect signaling. The aminoglycoside G-418 restored Mc4r(X16) function in vitro demonstrating that Mc4r(X16) is susceptible to nonsense suppression. For the evaluation of nonsense suppression in vivo, we generated a Mc4r(X16) knock-in mouse line by gene targeting. Mc4r(X16) knock-in mice developed hyperphagia, impaired glucose tolerance, severe obesity and an increased body length demonstrating that this new mouse model resembles typical characteristics of Mc4r deficiency. In a first therapeutic trial, the aminoglycosides gentamicin and amikacin induced no amelioration of obesity. Further experiments with Mc4r(X16) knock-in mice will be instrumental to establish nonsense suppression for Mc4r as an obesity-associated target gene expressed in the central nervous system.

Abstract: Alternative mRNA splicing provides transcript diversity and may contribute to human disease. We demonstrate that expression of several genes regulating RNA processing is decreased in both liver and skeletal muscle of obese humans. We evaluated a representative splicing factor, SFRS10, downregulated in both obese human liver and muscle and in high-fat-fed mice, and determined metabolic impact of reduced expression. SFRS10-specific siRNA induces lipogenesis and lipid accumulation in hepatocytes. Moreover, Sfrs10 heterozygous mice have increased hepatic lipogenic gene expression, VLDL secretion, and plasma triglycerides. We demonstrate that LPIN1, a key regulator of lipid metabolism, is a splicing target of SFRS10; reduced SFRS10 favors the lipogenic β isoform of LPIN1. Importantly, LPIN1β-specific siRNA abolished lipogenic effects of decreased SFRS10 expression. Together, our results indicate that reduced expression of SFRS10, as observed in tissues from obese humans, alters LPIN1 splicing, induces lipogenesis, and therefore contributes to metabolic phenotypes associated with obesity.

Abstract: Objective: The creation of the pneumoperitoneum is the first surgical procedure in laparoscopic abdominal surgery. Morbid obesity is a risk factor for iatrogenic injuries due to the considerable thickness of the abdominal wall. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and the incidence of complications of the use of Veress needle (VN) in obese patients undergoing bariatric surgery. Methods: Between March 2004 and December 2010 a nonrandomized retrospective study was performed on 139 obese patients (mean BMI = 45,94 kg/m2). Blind VN insertion and insufflation followed by optical trocar insertion was the most widely used technique. Results: Of 139 patients, VN was successful used in 138 cases (99,28%), in one patient the procedure failed and an open laparoscopy was performed (0.72%). During the study period, there were 63 gastric bypass, 18 sleeve gastrectomy, 52 gastric banding and 8 reoperations. The VN was inserted at left upper quadrant in 46 cases and the midline above the umbilicus in 92 cases. A colonic perforation after VN insertion at the left upper quadrant occurred. The overall rate of complications was 0,72% (1/138). There were no access related complications when VN was inserted above the umbilicus; complications rate was 2.17% (1/46) at upper left quadrant VN placement. No cases of subcutaneous emphysema or extraperitoneal insufflation were observed. Conclusions: In our experience, the success rate was 98.28% and the overall rate of complications was 0.72%. The Veress needle technique can be considered feasible and safe even when used in obese population.

Abstract: Neurobeachin (Nbea) regulates neuronal membrane protein trafficking and is required for the development and functioning of central and neuromuscular synapses. In homozygous knockout (KO) mice, Nbea deficiency causes perinatal death. Here, we report that heterozygous KO mice haploinsufficient for Nbea have higher body weight due to increased adipose tissue mass. In several feeding paradigms, heterozygous KO mice consumed more food than wild-type (WT) controls, and this consumption was primarily driven by calories rather than palatability. Expression analysis of feeding-related genes in the hypothalamus and brainstem with real-time PCR showed differential expression of a subset of neuropeptide or neuropeptide receptor mRNAs between WT and Nbea+/− mice in the sated state and in response to food deprivation, but not to feeding reward. In humans, we identified two intronic NBEA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are significantly associated with body-mass index (BMI) in adult and juvenile cohorts. Overall, data obtained in mice and humans suggest that variation of Nbea abundance or activity critically affects body weight, presumably by influencing the activity of feeding-related neural circuits. Our study emphasizes the importance of neural mechanisms in body weight control and points out NBEA as a potential risk gene in human obesity., Author Summary Body weight and energy balance are under very complex neural, endocrine, and metabolic control. Correspondingly, recent research suggests that hundreds of genes contribute to human obesity and that only a small proportion of them have as yet been identified. Neurobeachin (Nbea) is a protein specifically expressed in nerve and endocrine cells and is important for neurotransmission, apparently by influencing the synaptic targeting of membrane proteins. Here, we show that heterozygous knockout mice, expressing Nbea at 50% of normal levels, display increased adipose tissue mass, abnormal feeding behavior, and modified expression of specific genes in the brainstem and hypothalamus known to be important for body weight control. Moreover, we find that NBEA gene polymorphisms are associated with body-mass index in adult and juvenile human cohorts. Our results demonstrate that variation of Nbea activity critically affects body weight, presumably by influencing the activity of feeding-related neural circuits. They emphasize the importance of neural mechanisms in body weight control, and they identify NBEA as a potential genetic risk factor in human obesity.
