Abstract
The current study examined the effect of single nucleotide (SNPs) polymorphisms in the ADIPOQ gene (I146T and G276T) on body mass index (BMI) of young adult women. The women were divided into underweight, normal, overweight and obese according to BMI. The circulating levels of adiponectin were measured using commercially available ELISA kits. Genetic polymorphisms were genotyped using the PCR-RFLP method. G276T and I164T SNPs are common in the examined population as the frequency of G allele of 276 SNP was 54.8% and for the T allele of 164 SNP it was 41.7%. Circulating adiponectin levels were related to BMI and were lowest in the obese versus overweight, normal weight and underweight groups (p<0.01). However, ADIPOQ gene SNPs (I146T and G276T) showed no association with BMI groups. In conclusion, the results may suggest that adiponectin level, but not ADIPOQ gene SNPs, is a good indicator to BMI in young adult women.
