Phenotypes associated with the disease inherited obesity (OMIM:601665):
- Decreased resting energy expenditure (HP:0012340): A reduction in the number of calories used per unit time. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:601665)
- Increased waist to hip ratio (HP:0031819): Increased waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) is a measurement above the average for the dimensionless ratio of the circumference of the waist to that of the hips. WHR is calculated as waist measurement divided by hip measurement. Evidence: PCS. (PMID:12872269)
- Autosomal recessive inheritance (HP:0000007): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele). Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:601665)
- Polygenic inheritance (HP:0010982): A mode of inheritance that depends on a mixture of major and minor genetic determinants possibly together with environmental factors. Diseases inherited in this manner are termed complex diseases. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:601665)
- Obesity (HP:0001513): Accumulation of substantial excess body fat. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:601665)
- Autosomal dominant inheritance (HP:0000006): A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele. Evidence: TAS. (OMIM:601665)
