Effects of r-metHuLeptin on weight in three children with congenital leptin deficiency. (a) Weights of child A compared with normal centiles for girls and of child B and child C compared with normal centiles for boys. Arrows indicate the start of r-metHuLeptin therapy. (b) Clinical photographs of child B before (height = 107 cm) and 24 months after r-metHuLeptin therapy (height = 124 cm) (reproduced with the permission of the child’s parents).
