Why do GLP-1 therapies transform some patientsβand barely move the needle in others? π§¬π
A recent Nature study (~28,000 participants) identifies GLP1R and GIPR variants linked to both weight loss efficacy and GI side effects.
π Signal: modest for weight loss, stronger for tolerability
π§ Insight: genetics + clinical factors explain ~25% variability
π Implication: early steps toward precision obesity therapeutics
The future may not be "one drug fits all," but one genome, one strategy.
