Abstract
Introduction: FTO gene belongs to the non-heme Fe (II) and 2 oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase superfamily. Polymorphisms within the first intron of the FTO gene have been examined across various populations, yielding disparate findings.The present study aimed to determine the impact of two intronic polymorphisms FTO 30685T/G (rs17817449) and -23525T/A (rs9939609) on the risk of obesity in Punjab, India.
Methods: Genotypic and biochemical analysis were done for 671 unrelated participants (obese=333 and non-obese=338) (age≥18 years). Genotyping of the polymorphisms was done by PCR-RFLP method. However, 50% of the samples were sequenced by Sanger sequencing.
Results: Both the FTO variants 30685 (TT vs GG: odds ratio (OR), 2.30; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.39-3.79) and -23525 (TT vs AA: odds ratio (OR), 2.78; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.37-5.64) showed substantial risk towards obesity by conferring it 2 times and 3 times, respectively. The analysis by logistic regression showed a significant association for both the variants 30685T/G (rs17817449) and -23525T/A (rs9939609) (OR=2.29; 95%CI: 1.47-3.57) and (OR=5.25; 95% CI: 2.68-10.28) under the recessive genetic model, respectively. The haplotype combination TA (30685; -23525) develops a 4 times risk for obesity (P=0.0001). Among obese, the G allele of 30685T/G and A- allele of -23525T/A showed variance in Body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist-to-height ratio(WHtR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and triglyceride(TG).
Conclusion: The present investigation indicated that both the FTO 30685T/G (rs17817449) and -23525T/A (rs9939609) polymorphisms have a key impact on an individual's vulnerability to obesity in this population.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
