Clin Dysmorphol. 2000 Jan;9(1):63-4. doi: 10.1097/00019605-200009010-00014.

Abstract

We describe a 15-year-old boy with WAGR syndrome and obesity and suggest that obesity should be added to the WAGR spectrum. It is also suggested that a putative gene for obesity might be located within the 11p13 band.
