Obesity is a global health challenge characterized by significant heterogeneity in causes and treatment responses, complicating sustainable management. This narrative review explores the genomic architecture of obesity and its implications for personalized interventions, focusing on how genetic variations influence key biological pathways and treatment outcomes. A comprehensive literature search, guided by the authors' expertise, was conducted to identify key publications on the genomics of obesity and personalized approaches. The selection of articles prioritized those that provided direct insights into the genomic basis of obesity and its potential for informing tailored strategies. Genomic studies reveal both monogenic and polygenic influences on obesity, identifying numerous susceptibility loci. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have linked common variants in genes like Show less
