description <h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">Obesity, one of the most common chronic health conditions worldwide, is a multifactorial disease caused by complex genetic and environmental interactions. Several association studies have revealed a considerable number of candidate loci for obesity; however, the genotype–phenotype correlations remain unclear. To date, no comprehensive systematic review has been conducted to investigate the genetic risk factors for obesity among Arabs.</p><h3>Objectives</h3><p dir="ltr">This study aimed to systematically review the genetic polymorphisms that are significantly associated with obesity in Arabs.</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">We searched four literature databases (PubMed, Science Direct, Scopus, and Google Scholar) from inception until May 2020 to obtain all reported genetic data related to obesity in Arab populations. Quality assessment and data extraction were performed individually by three investigators.</p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">In total, 59 studies comprising a total of 15,488 cases and 9,760 controls were included in the systematic review. A total of 76 variants located within or near 49 genes were reported to be significantly associated with obesity. Among the 76 variants, two were described as unique to Arabs, as they have not been previously reported in other populations, and 19 were reported to be distinctively associated with obesity in Arabs but not in non-Arab populations.</p><h3>Conclusions</h3><p dir="ltr">There appears to be a unique genetic and clinical susceptibility profile of obesity in Arab patients.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: International Journal of Obesity<br>License: <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0" target="_blank">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41366-021-00867-6" target="_blank">http://dx.doi.org/10.1038/s41366-021-00867-6</a></p>
