Abstract
Childhood metabolic syndrome (MetS) is prevalent around the world and is associated with a high likelihood of suffering from severe diseases such as cardiovascular disease later in adulthood. MetS is associated with genetic susceptibility that involves gene polymorphisms. The fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) encodes an RNA N6-methyladenosine demethylase that regulates RNA stability and molecular functions. Human FTO contains genetic variants that significantly contribute to the early onset of MetS in children and adolescents. Emerging evidence has also uncovered that FTO polymorphisms in intron 1, such as rs9939609 and rs9930506 polymorphisms, are significantly associated with the development of MetS in children and adolescents. Mechanistic studies reported that FTO polymorphisms lead to aberrant expressions of FTO and the adjacent genes that promote adipogenesis and appetite and reduce steatolysis, satiety, and energy expenditure in the carriers. The present review highlights the recent observations on the key FTO polymorphisms that are associated with child and adolescent MetS with an exploration of the molecular mechanisms underlying the development of increased waist circumference, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in child and adolescent MetS.

Association of fat mass and obesity-associated ( FTO) gene polymorphisms with non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Iranian population: A systematic review of observational studies. J Diabetes Metab Disord 2022; 21:1975-1989. [PMID: 36404828 PMCID: PMC9672241 DOI: 10.1007/s40200-022-01139-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2022] [Accepted: 10/03/2022] [Indexed: 10/31/2022]
Abstract
Background Single nucleotide polymorphisms have been implicated in various diseases, most notably non-communicable diseases (NCDs). The aim of this study was to review available evidence regarding associations between FTO polymorphisms and NCDs in the Iranian population. Methods A comprehensive search was conducted through PubMed/Medline and Scopus databases up to December 2021, as well as reference lists of pertinent articles and key journals. All observational studies that examined the association between FTO gene polymorphisms and NCDs in the Iranian population were included. There was no limitation on the publication year. The Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to assess the study's quality. Results The initial search yielded 95 studies, of which 30 studies were included in the current systematic review. The underlying disorders were obesity, type 2 diabetes, breast and colorectal cancers, depression, and metabolic syndrome. These studies found an association between FTO gene polymorphisms and obesity in the Iranian population, but the relationship with other NCDs was debatable. Even though, other diseases such as diabetes and metabolic syndrome, which are closely related to obesity, may also be associated with FTO gene polymorphisms. Conclusion FTO gene polymorphism appears to play a role in the occurrence of NCDs. Some of the study results may be misleading due to ethnic differences and the effect of other genetic factors on disease onset, which needs to be investigated further. Finally, FTO gene polymorphisms can be studied as a preventive or therapeutic target.

The joint effect of PPARG upstream genetic variation in association with long-term persistent obesity: Tehran cardio-metabolic genetic study (TCGS). Eat Weight Disord 2021; 26:2325-2332. [PMID: 33389720 DOI: 10.1007/s40519-020-01063-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2020] [Accepted: 10/22/2020] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE This study is the first study that aims to assess the association between SNPs located at the PPARG gene with long term persistent obesity. In this cohort association study, all adult individuals who had at least three consecutive phases of BMI (at least nine years) in Tehran genetic Cardio-metabolic Study (TCGS) were included. METHODS Individuals who always had 30 ≤ BMI < 35 and individuals who always had 20 < BMI ≤ 25 were assigned to the long-term persistent obese group and persistent normal weight group, respectively. Other individuals were excluded from the study. We used four gamete rules to make SNP sets from correlated nearby SNPs and kernel machine regression to analyze the association between SNP sets and persistent obesity or normal weight. RESULTS The normal group consisted of 1547 individuals with the mean age of 40 years, and the obese group consisted of 1676 individuals with mean age of 48 years. Two groups had a significant difference between all measured clinical characteristics at entry time. The kernel machine result shows that nine correlated SNPs located upstream of PPARG have a significant joint effect on persistence obesity. CONCLUSION This is the first study on the association between PPARG variants with persistent obesity. Three of the nine associated markers were reported in previous GWAS studies to be associated with related diseases. For the studied markers in the PPARG gene, the Iranian allele frequency was near the American and European populations. LEVEL III Case-control analytic study.

Kernel machine SNP set analysis finds the association of BUD13, ZPR1, and APOA5 variants with metabolic syndrome in Tehran Cardio-metabolic Genetics Study. Sci Rep 2021; 11:10305.

Abstract
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. The 11p23.3 chromosomal region plays a potential role in the pathogenesis of MetS. The present study aimed to assess the association between 18 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located at the BUD13, ZPR1, and APOA5 genes with MetS in the Tehran Cardio-metabolic Genetics Study (TCGS). In 5421 MetS affected and non-affected participants, we analyzed the data using two models. The first model (MetS model) examined SNPs' association with MetS. The second model (HTg-MetS Model) examined the association of SNPs with MetS affection participants who had a high plasma triglyceride (TG). The four-gamete rules were used to make SNP sets from correlated nearby SNPs. The kernel machine regression models and single SNP regression evaluated the association between SNP sets and MetS. The kernel machine results showed two sets over three sets of correlated SNPs have a significant joint effect on both models (p < 0.0001). Also, single SNP regression results showed that the odds ratios (ORs) for both models are almost similar; however, the p-values had slightly higher significance levels in the HTg-MetS model. The strongest ORs in the HTg-MetS model belonged to the G allele in rs2266788 (MetS: OR = 1.3, p = 3.6 × 10–7; HTg-MetS: OR = 1.4, p = 2.3 × 10–11) and the T allele in rs651821 (MetS: OR = 1.3, p = 2.8 × 10–7; HTg-MetS: OR = 1.4, p = 3.6 × 10–11). In the present study, the kernel machine regression models could help assess the association between the BUD13, ZPR1, and APOA5 gene variants (11p23.3 region) with lipid-related traits in MetS and MetS affected with high TG.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Morbid obesity could last for a long period of life and increase the risk of morbidity as well as premature mortality. Although bariatric surgery benefits patients by quick weight loss, not all bariatric patients lose the same percentage of weight after a long time from surgery, which may be the result of diet, physical activity, and genetic components. OBJECTIVES In this study, we evaluated the association between the MC4R gene and both excess weight loss percentage (EWL%) and excess BMI loss percentage (EBMIL%) in a cohort of bariatric surgery patients after 6 and 12 months from surgery. METHODS A total of 424 bariatric surgery patients who had participated in the Tehran Obesity Treatment Study and had weight measurements after 6 and 12 months from surgery were included in the study. Four SNPs in the MC4R gene were selected for evaluating the associations. RESULTS We found that rs17773430 had a significant effect on both EWL% and EBMIL%, especially after 12 months of bariatric surgery. Furthermore, three other SNPs, rs17782313, rs476828, and rs11152213, did not show any significant association with EWL% and EBMIL%. CONCLUSION This study was the first to report on the association of rs17773430 with both EWL% and EBMIL% in a cohort of patients after bariatric surgery. We found that weight loss after surgery is influenced by genetic factors, and there were significant differences between the distribution of EWL% and EBMIL% in morbid obese bariatric patients who have two minor alleles of the rs17773430 and other SNPs.

A novel association of rs13334070 in the RPGRIP1L gene with adiposity factors discovered by joint linkage and linkage disequilibrium analysis in Iranian pedigrees: Tehran Cardiometabolic Genetic Study (TCGS). Genet Epidemiol 2018; 43:342-351. [PMID: 30597647 DOI: 10.1002/gepi.22179] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2018] [Revised: 10/15/2018] [Accepted: 11/26/2018] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
Understanding the genetic and metabolic bases of obesity is helpful in planning and developing health strategies. Therefore, the first family-based joint linkage and linkage disequilibrium study was conducted in Iranian pedigrees to assess the relationship between obesity and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) located in the 16q12.2 region. In the present study, a total of 13,344 individuals were included, of whom 12,502 individuals were within 3,109 pedigrees and 842 were unrelated singletons. To investigate the relationship between obesity and genetic variants, a joint model of linkage and linkage disequilibrium was applied. Moreover, a sequence kernel association test (SKAT) was used to evaluate the association of the SNP set with body size and lipid profile measurements. The joint model showed that rs13334070, in the intron 4 of the RPGRIP1L gene, has a significant association with obesity. According to the 4-gamete rule, which is a procedure for constructing SNP sets by considering recombination occurrence between SNPs, this polymorphism has a high correlation with six nearby SNPs that make an SNP set. SKAT showed that this SNP set has a significant association with body size factors, but almost no association with most of the lipid profile measurements. In conclusion, from the result of this study, it might be reasonable to consider RPGRIP1L as an important gene whose variations could be associated with obesity risk factors.

Abstract
CONTEXT Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study (TLGS), a longitudinal family based cohort study, is the oldest and largest longitudinal family based study in Iran, aimed at investigating effects of environmental, social and biological factors on the health of Tehranians over time. Considering the importance of genetic studies in this aspect, here we present a summary of the important genetic findings, and the potentiality of their contributions to future related projects. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION For all related studies during the past 20 years the search sources were all prominent search engines such as PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar with the most proper Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). RESULTS This review summarizes associations of 6 binary phenotypes and 17 quantitative traits with genetic markers in 26 genes. Of the 47 genetic markers, studied most were related to cardio metabolic risk factors. Results of heritability and linkage analysis were also collected and the highest heritability was found to be related to HDL-C (0.5). CONCLUSION Considering the opportunity provided by large-scale cohort studies to investigate molecular effects of genetic variants on causality and different omics' data, genetic studies conducted on TLGS population have had a remarkable success in identifying genetic variants that facilitating a unique genetic database on Iranian populations. The results of genome wide association studies in this population are currently facilitating investigations to define the Iranian genetic differences with other population.
