A new research review by Dr. Molly Bray and colleagues continues to generate interest. The Daily Texan's Science Scene developed a short video showing how genetic information may be useful when creating custom weight loss programs.
As noted in the article that accompanies the video:
In the review, scientists discussed links between body weight and certain genes, such as those for energy processing, appetite control and fat cell production. The ultimate goal of the research is to develop a way of designing personalized weight maintenance plans that could be altered for each individual based on their genetic codes. This is known as the precision method.
