Prevalence of Loss-of-Function FTO Mutations in Lean and Obese Individuals
OBJECTIVE Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in intron 1 of fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO) are strongly associated with human adiposity, whereas Fto(-/-) mice are lean and Fto(+/-) mice are resistant to diet-induced obesity. We aimed to determine whether FTO mutations are disproportionately represented in lean or obese humans and to use these mutations to understand structure-f...
متن کاملScreening for Coding Variants in FTO and SH2B1 Genes in Chinese Patients with Obesity
OBJECTIVE To investigate potential functional variants in FTO and SH2B1 genes among Chinese children with obesity. METHODS Sanger sequencing of PCR products of all FTO and SH2B1 exons and their flanking regions were performed in 338 Chinese Han children with obesity and 221 age- and sex-matched lean controls. RESULTS A total of seven and five rare non-synonymous variants were identified in ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Genes Involved in Body Weight Regulation by Targeted Re-Sequencing
INTRODUCTION Genes involved in body weight regulation that were previously investigated in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and in animal models were target-enriched followed by massive parallel next generation sequencing. METHODS We enriched and re-sequenced continuous genomic regions comprising FTO, MC4R, TMEM18, SDCCAG8, TKNS, MSRA and TBC1D1 in a screening sample of 196 extremely ob...
متن کاملFTO Obesity Risk Variants Are Linked to Adipocyte IRX3 Expression and BMI of Children - Relevance of FTO Variants to Defend Body Weight in Lean Children?
BACKGROUND Genome-wide association studies have identified variants within the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) locus as the strongest predictors of obesity amongst all obesity-associated gene loci. Recent evidence suggests that variants in FTO directly affect human adipocyte function through targeting IRX3 and IRX5 and thermogenesis regulation. AIM We addressed the relevance of this pro...
متن کاملRegulation of Fto/Ftm gene expression in mice and humans.
Two recent, large whole-genome association studies (GWAS) in European populations have associated a approximately 47-kb region that contains part of the FTO gene with high body mass index (BMI). The functions of FTO and adjacent FTM in human biology are not clear. We examined expression of these genes in organs of mice segregating for monogenic obesity mutations, exposed to underfeeding/overfee...
متن کاملارتباط سطح سرمی IL-18 با گرلین آسیل‌دار، هورمون رشد، مقاومت انسولینی و پروفایل چربی در مردان چاق و لاغر
Introduction: Interleukin-18 (IL-18) is a strong proinflammatory cytokine that its increased levels are associated with obesity, metabolic syndrome, insulin resistance, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerosis. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between serum interleukin-18 concentration with acylated ghrelin, growth hormone, insulin resistance, and lipid profile in o...
