Summary: | This application relates to methods and tests that allow for the establishment of personalized weight-loss programs for a subject based upon the subject's metabolic genotype in key metabolic genes. Kits and methods are disclosed for determining a subject's metabolic genotype, which may be used to select an appropriate therapeutic/dietary regimen or lifestyle recommendation based upon the likelihood of a subject's responsiveness to certain diets and activity levels. Such a personalized weight-loss program will have obvious benefits (e.g., yield better results in terms of weight loss and weight maintenance) over traditional weight-loss programs that do not take into account genetic information. |
