Obesity is a complex trait reflecting numerous genetic and environmental factors. Recently, a common genetic polymorphism (rs7566605) associated with a higher BMI was found in proximity to the insulin induced protein 2 (INSIG2 ) gene, with replication in four unrelated populations living in Western countries. We investigated the susceptibility to the polymorphism amongst the general Japanese population (n = 1976). The frequency of appearance of the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the Japanese (G allele; 0.652, C allele; 0.348) was not different from that found in subjects of European origin as reported previously. However, the BMI levels in each of these genotypes did not differ significantly (GG; 23 +/- 3, GC; 24 +/- 3, CC; 24 +/- 3 kg/m(2), P = 0.906). In a separate analysis according to sex (male; P = 0.462, female; P = 0.879), age decade (40s; P = 0.057, 50s; P = 0.998, 60s; P = 0.622, 70s; 0.425, respectively), and tertiles of the BMI (1st; P = 0.409, 2nd; P = 0.088, 3rd; P = 0.780), the differences did not achieve statistical significance. The frequency of obesity did not differ among the genotypes (25 kg/m(2); 30.3, 30.8, 28.2%, P = 0.729, 30 kg/m(2); 2.9, 3.8, 2.8%, P = 0.549). No associations were also observed for related plasma markers; high-molecular weight (HMW) adiponectin (P = 0.510), high-sensitive C-reactive protein (P = 0.788), resistin (P = 0.937) and homeostasis of minimal assessment of insulin resistance (P = 0.634). These results indicate a lack of association between SNP rs7566605 and being overweight among the Japanese (in the middle-aged and elderly population).  相似文献

Variants in the FTO (oxoglutarate-dependent nucleic acid demethylase) gene have been associated with the BMI determination in Western European and North American populations. To widen the geographical coverage of the FTO studies, we have analyzed the association between the FTO gene variant rs17817449 (G>C) and obesity in a Slavic Eastern European population. A total of 3,079 males and 3,602 females 45-69 years old were randomly selected from population registers of seven Czech cities. We examined three indices of obesity: BMI (kg/m(2)), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). The FTO rs17817449 variant was significantly associated with BMI both in males (GG 28.7 +/- 4.1; GT 28.3 +/- 3.9; TT 28.0 +/- 3.9; P = 0.003) and females (GG 28.7 +/- 5.2; GT 28.2 +/- 5.1; TT 27.2 +/- 4.9; P < 0.001); the associations were not affected by adjustment for age, smoking, socioeconomic status, and physical activity. The FTO variant was also associated with waist circumference (difference between GG and TT was 1.1 cm (P = 0.043) in men and 2.4 cm (P < 0.001) in women) but this relationship disappeared after adjustment for BMI. Similarly, BMI explained the weak association of FTO with WHR and C-reactive protein. FTO was not associated with plasma total and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, blood glucose, and blood pressure. These results confirm that in a Slavic population the FTO variant is strongly associated with BMI but not with other risk factors.  相似文献

Esophagogastric junction adenocarcinoma (EGJA) may be associated with obesity and overweight. Thus, any variant in energy metabolism–related gene may influence the development of EGJA. In this study, we recruited 720 EGJA cases and 1541 noncancer controls. We selected IGF2BP2 rs4402960 G > T, rs1470579 A > C, IGF1 rs5742612 A > G and IGFBP3 rs3110697 G > A, rs2270628 C > T and rs6953668 G > A loci and assessed the relationship of these polymorphisms with lymph node status and susceptibility of EGJA. We found that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 A > C and IGFBP3 rs6953668 G > A polymorphisms were associated with the decreased risk of EGJA ( IGF2BP2 rs1470579: CC vs AA: adjusted odds ratio [OR] = 0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.43-0.98, P = 0.041 and CC vs AA/AC: adjusted OR = 0.62, 95% CI = 0.41-0.93, P = 0.021 and IGFBP3 rs6953668: GA vs GG: adjusted OR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.47-0.93, P = 0.019 and GA/AA vs GG: adjusted OR = 0.68, 95% CI = 0.48-0.95, P = 0.026). However, we also found that IGF1 rs5742612 A > G polymorphism increased the risk of LNM among patients with EGJA (GG vs AA: adjusted OR = 1.88, 95% CI = 1.02-3.46, P = 0.042 and GG vs AA/AG: adjusted OR = 1.92, 95% CI = 1.06-3.47, P = 0.032). This study suggests that IGF2BP2 rs1470579 A > C and IGFBP3 rs6953668 G > A polymorphisms may decrease genetic susceptibility to EGJA in eastern Chinese Han population. In addition, our findings also indicate that IGF1 rs5742612 A > G polymorphism may increase the susceptibility of LNM among patients with EGJA.  相似文献

Esophageal cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers in the world. Recent large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reported that functional genetic variations in the phospholipase C epsilon gene (PLCE1) were strongly associated with risk of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and gastric cardia adenocarcinoma (GCA) in Chinese population. For C20orf54 rs13042395 genotype and risk of esophageal cancer, the results were inconsistent. We conducted a replication case-control study to evaluate the genetic effects of these two functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the development of esophageal cancer. A total of 380 cases and 380 controls were recruited for this study. The genotypes were determined by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-ToF MS). The variant alleles of the functional polymorphism, PLCE1 rs2274223 SNP was associated with the increased risk of esophageal cancer [adjusted odds ratio (OR) = 1.95, 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.05-3.59 for PLCE1 rs2274223 GG vs. AA]. However, there was no significant association between the C20orf54 rs13042395 genotype and esophageal cancer risk (adjusted OR = 0.99, 95 % CI = 0.63-1.57 for C20orf54 rs13042395 TT vs. CC). Stratified analyses indicated a significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer associated with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AG genotype was more evident among females, younger patients and never drinkers, compared with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AA genotypes. Stratified analyses also indicated a significantly increased risk of esophageal cancer associated with the PLCE1 rs2274223 GG genotype was more evident among never smokers and never drinkers compared with the PLCE1 rs2274223 AA genotypes. These findings indicated that functional polymorphisms PLCE1 rs2274223 might contribute to esophageal cancer susceptibility.  相似文献

Rituximab has become a pivotal treatment for systemic autoimmune diseases. The aim of this study was to determine whether the genetic variant -174 IL-6 contributes to differences in the response to rituximab in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), inflammatory myopathies, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-mediated vasculitis, systemic sclerosis, Sj?egren's syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, and autoimmune hemolytic anemia. DNA samples from 144 Spanish patients with different systemic autoimmune diseases receiving rituximab were genotyped for -174 IL-6 (rs1800795) gene polymorphism using the TaqMan(?) allelic discrimination technology. Six months after the first infusion with rituximab, we evaluated the response to the drug: 60.4% of the patients showed a complete response, partial 27.8%, and 11.8% did not respond to the treatment. The CC genotype frequency was significantly increased in nonresponders with respect to responders (23.5% vs. 7.1%, respectively; p=0.049; odds ratio (OR)=4.03, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.78-16.97). According to the genotype distribution, rituximab was effective in 69.2% of the CC carriers, 91.9% of the CG carriers, and 88.4% of the GG carriers. A similar trend was observed when SLE patients were analyzed separately (27.3% carried CC homozygosis in nonresponders and 6.9% in responders; p=0.066; OR=5.10, 95% CI 0.65-31.73). Rituximab was effective in 62.5% of the CC carriers, 88.9% of the GC carriers, and 90% of the GG carriers. These results suggest that -174 IL-6 (rs1800795) gene polymorphism plays a role in the response to rituximab in systemic autoimmune diseases. Validation of these findings in independent cohorts is warranted.  相似文献

Several studies inspected the relationship between caspase-3 (CASP3) polymorphisms and the risk of several human cancers, but the findings remain controversial. We conducted a meta-analysis aiming to inspect the association between CASP3 rs1049216 T>C, rs12108497 C>T, rs4647603 G>A, rs4647602 C>A, rs6948 T>G, rs2705897 A>C, and rs113420705 G>A polymorphisms and cancer risk. Eligible studies were recognized by searching the Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar databases. Pooled odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated to quantitatively evaluate the association between each polymorphism of CASP3 and cancer risk. The rs4647603 variant significantly increased the risk of cancer in an overdominant (OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.03-2.01; P = 0.03; AG vs AA+GG) inheritance model. Regarding the rs4647602 variant, the findings revealed that this variant was associated with protection against cancer in homozygous codominant (OR, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.56-0.80; P < 0.00001; AA vs CC), dominant (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.73-0.96; P = 0.009; AC+AA vs CC), recessive (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.61-0.79; P < 0.00001; AA vs AC+CC), and allele (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.75-0.88; P = 0.00001; A vs C) models. The findings suggested that the rs2705897 variant significantly decreased the risk of cancer in heterozygous codominant (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.67-0.94; P = 0.009; AC vs AA), dominant (OR, 0.81; 95% CI, 0.69-0.95; P = 0.009; AC+CC vs AA), overdominant (OR, 0.80; 95% CI, 0.68-0.95; P = 0.01; AC vs CC+AA), and allele (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.97; P = 0.02; C vs A) models. The results did not support an association between CASP3 rs1049216 and rs6948 polymorphisms and cancer risk. In summary, the findings of this meta-analysis support an association between CASP3 polymorphisms and cancer risk. Larger and well-designed studies are desired to evaluate these associations in detail.  相似文献

The rs9939609 SNP located in the first intron of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) has been found to be associated with common obesity mainly in populations of European descent. The Roma/Gypsy population as an ethnic minority of Asian Indian origin is well known for its adverse health status with a high prevalence of obesity. The main aim of this study was to examine the contribution of the rs9939609 FTO polymorphism to the high prevalence of obesity in the Roma/Gypsy population. Following a number of anthropometric measurements, the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism was genotyped in 312 Roma/Gypsy individuals. We observed significant differences in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, and waist-to-hip ratio between different genotypes (P = 0.003, P = 0.012, and P = 0.03, respectively). The waist circumference in the subjects with AA genotype was about 7.1 cm larger than in those with TT genotypes (P = 0.005). However, the strongest association of minor allele A of the rs9939609 FTO polymorphism was found with BMI (odds ratio, 1.55; 95% confidence interval, 1.129-2.128; P = 0.007), even after adjusting for age, sex, and smoking status. This study provides the first report of allele and genotype frequencies for the rs9939609 polymorphism and also the first evidence of the association of the FTO variant with obesity in the Roma/Gypsy population.  相似文献

Numerous studies have evaluated the association between Ser311Cys (rs1801028, C>G) polymorphism of the dopamine D2 receptor (DRD2) gene and schizophrenia risk. However, the specific association is still controversial. We examined whether DRD2 Ser311Cys polymorphism confers schizophrenia risk in Asian populations. Sixteen studies were retrieved reporting on a total of 2268 schizophrenia patients and 2423 healthy controls. Meta-analysis of the results showed significant associations between Ser311Cys polymorphism and schizophrenia risk in the comparisons of G versus C (odds ratio (OR) = 1.47, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.18-1.83, P = 0.0006) and CG+GG versus CC (OR = 1.45, 95%CI = 1.16- 1.82, P = 0.001). In a subgroup analysis by nationality, we found a significant association between Ser311Cys polymorphism and schizophrenia risk in the comparisons of G versus C and CG+GG versus CC genotype in the Japanese population (OR = 1.75, 95%CI = 1.30-2.35, P = 0.0002; OR = 1.72, 95%CI = 1.27-2.33, P = 0.0004; respectively) but not in Chinese and Indian populations. In conclusion, the G allele of DRD2 Ser311Cys polymorphism involves a potential risk factor for schizophrenia in Asian populations, especially in the Japanese population.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate associations of two candidate gene SNPs of the endocannabinoid receptor type 1 gene (CNR1) with overweight, obesity and obesity-related traits in Chinese retired women. The study subjects were a subsample of the Taizhou Retiree Women Cohort, consisting of 2812 retired women aged 50-64 years recruited from Taizhou, Jiangsu, China. Neither rs2023239 nor rs806381 polymorphism was significantly associated with body mass index-defined overweight and obesity or waist-to-hip-ratio-defined obesity. For obesity-related traits, rs2023239 was significantly associated with glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) (median, 18.00 vs 17.00 for TT and TC genotypes, respectively, P=0.043). The rs806381 also showed significant association with triglyceride (TG) (mean±SD, 1.46±0.20 vs 1.53±0.20 for GA and GG+AA genotypes, respectively, P=0.013) under the dominant genetic model. In conclusion, the rs2023239 and rs806381 polymorphisms of CNR1 were not associated with increased overweight and obesity risk. But the rs2023239 polymorphism was significantly associated with GPT, and the rs806381 polymorphism was significantly associated with TG.  相似文献

One particularly interesting single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), rs6235 (encoding an S690T substitution), in the proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 1 (PCSK1) gene has been widely associated with obesity in several European cohorts. The present study was intended to investigate the association between the PCSK1 rs6235 SNP and the prevalence of overweight or obesity, or obesity-related metabolic traits in a Taiwanese population. A total of 964 Taiwanese subjects with general health examinations were analyzed. Our data revealed no association of PCSK1 rs6235 with the risk of obesity or overweight in the complete subjects. However, the PCSK1 rs6235 SNP exhibited a significant association with overweight among the male subjects (P = 0.03), but not among the female subjects. Furthermore, the carriers of GG variant had a significantly higher waist circumference than those with the CC variant (82.5 ± 11.5 vs. 81.2 ± 10.2 cm; P = 0.01) and those with the CG variant (82.5 ± 11.5 vs. 81.4 ± 10.4 cm; P = 0.021). In addition, the carriers of GG variant had a higher diastolic blood pressure than those with the CC variant (81.9 ± 14.2 vs. 80.3 ± 12.9 mm Hg; P = 0.023). Our study indicates that the PCSK1 rs6235 SNP may contribute to the risk of overweight in men and predict obesity-related metabolic traits such as waist circumference and diastolic blood pressure in Taiwanese subjects.  相似文献

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow obstruction due to chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and/or disease of small airways. It has been reported that the genetic variation may play a role in the development and severity of COPD. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in interleukin (IL)-12A and IL-12B were associated with COPD in a Chinese population. The IL-12A rs2243115 and IL-12B rs3212227 polymorphisms were genotyped by performing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 298 patients with COPD and 346 healthy controls. We observed that the frequencies of GT and GT+GG of IL-12A rs2243115 were significantly different from TT in the COPD group and the control group (GT vs. TT: odds ratio [OR]=2.35, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.55-3.57, p<0.001; GT+GG vs. TT: OR=2.46, 95% CI=1.63-3.71, p<0.001). These data suggest that the IL-12A rs2243115 polymorphism may contribute to genetic susceptibility to COPD in a Chinese population.  相似文献

The ADIPOQ gene has been implicated in the etiology of hypertension. However, the results have been inconsistent. In this study, a meta-analysis was performed to assess the associations of ADIPOQ polymorphisms with hypertension risk among the Chinese. Published literature from PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang Data were retrieved. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence interval (CI) was calculated using fixed- or random-effects model. Six studies (1,812 cases and 2,631 controls) for rs2241766 polymorphism and four studies (1,449 cases and 2,175 controls) for rs1501299 polymorphism were identified. A marginally significant association was observed for rs2241766 polymorphism under recessive genetic model (GG vs. GT+TT: OR = 1.22, 95 % CI 1.01-1.48) and for rs1501299 polymorphism under heterogeneous co-dominant model (TG vs. GG: OR = 0.86, 95 % CI 0.75-0.99) and dominant model (TT+TG vs. GG: OR = 0.85, 95 % CI 0.74-0.98). In addition, under other genetic models, there was no significant association for rs2241766 polymorphism (GG vs. TT: OR = 1.20, 95 % CI 0.98-1.48; GT vs. TT: OR = 0.97, 95 % CI 0.85-1.10; GG+GT vs. TT: OR = 1.01, 95 % CI 0.90-1.15) and for rs1501299 polymorphism (TT vs. GG: OR = 0.82, 95 % CI 0.62-1.08; TT vs. TG+GG: OR = 0.87, 95 % CI 0.66-1.14). However, the associations above were not robust by sensitivity analysis. The present meta-analysis indicated the limited evidence of the significant associations between ADIPOQ gene polymorphisms and hypertension susceptibility among the Chinese.  相似文献

The human patatin-like phospholipase domain-containing-3 (PNPLA3) gene rs738409 C>G polymorphism is associated with several types of liver disease. The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the risk of cirrhosis on the basis of rs738409 allele frequency and genotype. Medline, the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, and Google Scholar were searched for prospective and retrospective studies assessing the effect of the rs738409 polymorphism on liver cirrhosis. Seven studies, involving 2,023 patients with cirrhosis, were included. The G allele was associated with a significantly increased risk of cirrhosis versus the C allele [pooled odds ratio (OR) = 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.64–2.12, Z = 9.55, P < 0.001]. Both the GC and GG genotypes were associated with a significantly increased risk of cirrhosis versus the CC genotype (GC vs. CC: pooled OR = 1.73, 95% CI = 1.51–1.98, Z = 7.86, P < 0.001; GG vs. CC: pooled OR = 3.41, 95% CI = 2.77–4.18, Z = 11.65, P < 0.001). There was no evidence of publication bias. Our findings suggest that patients at risk for liver cirrhosis may benefit from PNPLA3 genotyping and thus more intensive monitoring if the rs738409 C>G polymorphism is identified.  相似文献

Epidemiological studies revealed an increasing prevalence of and a steep increase in obesity, a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Because significant influence of a polymorphism, rs7566605, near the INSIG2 gene on BMI has been shown in the general population and in obesity cohorts, we hypothesized that this polymorphism might also act through an elevated BMI on the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) or myocardial infarction (MI). We pursued two strategies: First, the polymorphism rs7566605 was investigated for association with BMI, CAD/MI, and cardiovascular risk factors in a large German cohort at high risk for CAD and MI (n = 1,460 MI patients) as compared to unrelated healthy controls (n = 1,215); second, we extended our analyses on the families of MI patients and performed family‐based association testing (n = 5,390 individuals). The polymorphism rs7566605 was analyzed using TaqMan technology. No deviation from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium could be observed, and the call rate was 98.2%. No significant associations of rs7566605 with CAD/MI, BMI, and classical cardiovascular risk factors could be detected in the full sample size or in the subgroups. A total of 6,878 individuals were investigated in a population of German MI patients and their family members. Although the number of individuals was large enough, no influence of the rs7566605 INSIG2 polymorphism was detected on BMI and CAD/MI. We therefore conclude that in our sample the SNP rs7566605 near the INSIG2 gene does not influence BMI and is not associated directly with CAD/MI or indirectly through cardiovascular risk factors.  相似文献

Background

Dyslipidemia and overweight are common issues in children. Identifying genetic markers of risk could lead to targeted interventions. A polymorphism of SNP rs7566605 near insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2) has been identified as a strong candidate gene for obesity, through its feedback control of lipid synthesis.

Objective

To identify polymorphisms in INSIG2 which are associated with overweight (BMI ≥ 85% for age) and dyslipidemia in children. Hypothesis: The C allele of rs7566605 would be significantly associated with BMI and LDL.

Design/Methods

We genotyped 15 SNPs in/near INSIG2 in 1,058 healthy children (53% non-Hispanic white (NHW), 37% overweight) participating in a school based study. Genotype was compared with BMI and lipid markers, adjusting for age, gender, and puberty.

Results

We found a significant association between the SNP rs12464355 and LDL in NHW children, p < 0.001. The G allele is protective (lower LDL). A different SNP was associated with overweight in NHW: rs17047757. SNP rs7566605 was not associated with overweight or lipid levels.

Conclusions

We identified novel genetic associations between INSIG2 and both overweight and LDL in NHW children. Polymorphisms in INSIG2 may be important in the development of obesity through its effects on lipid regulation.  相似文献

Kawasaki disease (KD) is pediatric systemic vasculitis with the classic complication of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA). It is the leading cause of acquired cardiovascular diseases in children. Some severe cases present with multi-organ involvement or neurological dysfunction. To identify the role of the glutamate receptor, ionotropic, N-methyl-d-aspartate 3A (GRIN3A) in KD, we investigated genetic variations in GRIN3A in a Taiwanese cohort of 262 KD patients (76 with and 186 without CAA complications). We used univariate and multivariate regression analyses to identify the associations between clinical characteristics and GRIN3A genetic variations in KD. According to univariate regression analysis, CAA formation in KD was significantly associated with fever duration (p < 0.0001), first Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) used (days after day one of fever) (p < 0.0001), and the GRIN3A (rs7849782) genetic variant (p < 0.001). KD patients with GG+GC genotype showed a lower rate of developing CAA (GG+GC genotype: odds ratio = 0.26; 95% CI = 0.14–0.46). Significant associations were identified between KD with CAA complication and the GRIN3A (rs7849782) genetic variant by using multivariate regression analysis. Specifically, significant correlations were observed between KD with CAA complications and the presence of GG+GC genotypes for the GRIN3A rs7849782 single-nucleotide polymorphism (full model: odds ratio = 0.25; 95% CI = 0.14–0.46). Our results suggest that a polymorphism of the GRIN3A gene may play a role in KD pathogenesis.  相似文献
