Regarding the article, Defining Hyperphagia for Improved Diagnosis and Management of MC4R Pathway–Associated Disease: A Roundtable Summary, the authors were informed after publication that two mentions of the gene SNORD116 would be more accurate if updated to SNORD115 (1). While the current reference does support SNORD116 having a role in food intake/body weight, the serotonin receptor regulation is reported specifically with SNORD115.
