Why do GLP-1 therapies transform some patientsβ€”and barely move the needle in others? πŸ§¬πŸ’‰

A recent Nature study (~28,000 participants) identifies GLP1R and GIPR variants linked to both weight loss efficacy and GI side effects.

πŸ“Š Signal: modest for weight loss, stronger for tolerability

🧠 Insight: genetics + clinical factors explain ~25% variability

πŸš€ Implication: early steps toward precision obesity therapeutics

The future may not be "one drug fits all," but one genome, one strategy.
