To read the full abstract: J Clin Invest 2018;128:960-969Mouse models for PWS are urgently needed to facilitate drug development for treatment of hyperphagia and obesity in PWS patients. Here, the authors set out to create a mouse model that better recapitulates human PWS; they chose Snord116 as the target. Snord116 comprises a cluster of noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) on paternal chromosome 15q11.2. Deletio...

To read the full abstract: J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2018 Feb 1;103(2):649-659A minimum level of energy availability is required for the onset of puberty, whereas increased fat mass has been shown to be associated with precocious onset of puberty1,2. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several loci for age at menarche also associated with obesity3-5. Whethe...
