Pro-opiomelanocortin deficiency is a rare cause of severe intractable obesity. Two patients have experienced dramatic weight loss in response to setmelanotide, a melanocortin-4 receptor activator. The drug has potential in broader populations, but caution is warranted as it may act at other melanocortin receptors.
