- Note: The specific genotype for all patients must be reviewed by the Sponsor prior to study enrollment to confirm that the patient meets Inclusion Criterion #1. In addition, enrollment of patients in some subgroups may be prioritized by the Sponsor in order to ensure enrollment of patients with (1) well described, loss of function genetic mutations, (2) a variety of genetic variants, or (3) genetic variants likely to respond to setmelanotide.

- Study participant and/or parent or guardian is able to communicate well with the Investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study, and is able to understand and sign the written informed consent/assent.
- Female participants of child-bearing potential must be confirmed non-pregnant, and agree to use contraception as outlined in the protocol. Female participants of non-childbearing potential, defined as surgically sterile (status post hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or bilateral tubal ligation), post-menopausal for at least 12 months (and confirmed with a screening Follicle Stimulating Hormone [FSH] level in the post-menopausal lab range), and failure to have achieved menarche, do not require contraception during the study.
