LEPR deficiency is a rare genetic disorder that affects the function of the leptin receptor, which plays a key role in regulating appetite and energy balance. People with LEPR deficiency may have a constant feeling of hunger and may struggle with weight gain and obesity. There is currently no cure for LEPR deficiency, and treatment may involve managing symptoms with medications and dietary modifications. Genetic counseling may also be recommended for people with a family history of the disorder.
