A genetic master-switch, has been identified by scientists that makes some people more prone to obesity than others, and research suggests it can be turned off, possibly leading to weight loss.
So far, researchers have been able to manipulate the genes of mice and human cells in the lab in order to reverse obesity, but the approach has not yet been tested in people.
If future studies are successful, the method could offer a novel way to cure obesity, a major public health problem that experts ...
