摘要
Syndromic obesity is sometimes encountered in clinical practice, but may often be misdiagnosed. This is more often seen in the south Asian region due to higher rates of consanguinity. This article simplifies the clinical features which should prompt a high index of clinical suspicion, and ensure a detailed assessment for syndromic obesity including a genetic test. This manuscript lists various aspects of history and physical examination in an alliterative manner.
