Association between the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism and the metabolic syndrome in a non-Caucasian multi-ethnic sample
BACKGROUND The rs9939609 T>A single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the FTO gene has previously been found to be associated with obesity in European Caucasian samples. The objective of this study is to examine whether this association extends to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and applies in non-Caucasian samples. METHODS The FTO rs9939609 SNP was genotyped in 2121 subjects from four different non...
متن کاملAssociation of FTO rs9939609 SNP with Obesity and Obesity- Associated Phenotypes in a North Indian Population.
OBJECTIVES Obesity is a common disorder that has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality. Twin and adoption studies support the genetic influence on variation of obesity, and the estimates of the heritability of body mass index (BMI) is significantly high (30 to 70%). Variants in the fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene have been associated with obesity and obesity-related phenoty...
متن کاملThe Association of FTO SNP rs9939609 with Weight Gain at University
AIM We tested the hypothesis that the obesity-associated FTO SNP rs9939609 would be associated with clinically significant weight gain (≥ 5% of initial body weight) in the first year of university; a time identified as high risk for weight gain. METHODS We collected anthropometric data from university students (n = 1,411, mean age: 22.4 ± 2.5 years, 49.1% male) at the beginning and end of the...
متن کاملThe Association Between Metabolic Syndrome and Serum Leptin
Objectives: The relation of metabolic syndrome components, insulin resistance and leptin has been studied in elderly women. Methods & Materials: In this cross sectional study, among 225 subjects≥60 year old who were residents of Kahrizak Charity Foundation, 133 (56 men & 77 women) were selected by cluster random sampling. Fasting serum TG, Total Cholesterol, HDL, and leptin levels were measu...
متن کاملThe association of the FTO rs9939609 polymorphism with obesity and metabolic risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in Polish children.
The phenomenon of excessive body mass increase in the general population of children and adults in the past few decades and has been attributed to environmental changes, especially when superimposed on a predisposing genetic background. The fat mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene has recently become one of the most extensively investigated genes associated with body mass. The aim of the stud...
