Candidates for this test are patients with early onset non-syndromic obesity or patients suspected to have a syndrome with obesity as a predominant feature.

Patients of all ages with severe obesity could be eligible for the Rhythm-sponsored genetic testing program. To be eligible for testing, patients must meet one of the following criteria*:

• ≤18 years of age, BMI ≥97th percentile or
• ≥19 years of age, BMI ≥40, and a history of childhood obesity
• An immediate family member of select, previously tested patients
