Abstract
Genetic background interacts with dietary components to modulate nutritional health status. This study aimed to review the evidence for gene-diet interactions in all forms of malnutrition. A comprehensive systematic literature search was conducted through April 2021 to identify observational and intervention studies reporting the effects of gene-diet interactions in over-nutrition, under-nutrition and micronutrient status. Risk of publication bias was assessed using the Quality Criteria Checklist and a tool specifically designed for gene-diet interaction research. 167 studies from 27 populations were included. The majority of studies investigated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in overnutrition (n = 158). Diets rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits and low in total and saturated fats, such as Mediterranean and DASH diets, showed promising effects for reducing obesity risk among individuals who had higher genetic risk scores for obesity, particularly the risk alleles carriers of FTO rs9939609, rs1121980 and rs1421085. Other SNPs in MC4R, PPARG and APOA5 genes were also commonly studied for interaction with diet on overnutrition though findings were inconclusive. Only limited data were found related to undernutrition (n = 1) and micronutrient status (n = 9). The findings on gene-diet interactions in this review highlight the importance of personalized nutrition, and more research on undernutrition and micronutrient status is warranted.

Abstract
The main functions of adipose tissue are thought to be storage and mobilization of the body’s energy reserves, active and passive thermoregulation, participation in the spatial organization of internal organs, protection of the body from lipotoxicity, and ectopic lipid deposition. After the discovery of adipokines, the endocrine function was added to the above list, and after the identification of crosstalk between adipocytes and immune cells, an immune function was suggested. Nonetheless, it turned out that the mechanisms underlying mutual regulatory relations of adipocytes, preadipocytes, immune cells, and their microenvironment are complex and redundant at many levels. One possible way to elucidate the picture of adipose-tissue regulation is to determine genetic variants correlating with obesity. In this review, we examine various aspects of adipose-tissue involvement in innate immune responses as well as variants of immune-response genes associated with obesity.

Abstract
Purpose: To investigate whether the Asp358Ala of interleukin 6 receptor related to the risk and outcome of large artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke in Han Chinese.Materials and methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted on 768 patients with LAA stroke and 686 non-stroke controls. The genotypes of Asp358Ala polymorphism were determined using SNPscan technology. Associations between genotypes and the risk of LAA stroke were analyzed with logistic regression model.Results: CC genotype (P < 0.001) and AC genotype (P = 0.023) decreased the risk of LAA stroke compared with AA genotype. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that CC genotype was significantly associated with the risk of LAA stroke (P = 0.002). In the subgroup analyses, polymorphisms of Asp358Ala were significantly associated with the risk of LAA stroke in additive model, dominant model and recessive model (P = 0.009, P = 0.017, P = 0.012, respectively) for male, but not for female. Further regression analysis showed that compared with participants with AA genotype and obesity, participants with CC genotype and non-obesity were less likely to suffer LAA stroke (P = 0.003). For male participants, these associations were still existed (additive model, P = 0.022). After 3-month follow-up, patients with C allele had good functional prognosis compared with patients with A allele (P = 0.009).Conclusion: The study demonstrated that the Asp358Ala polymorphism might be associated with susceptibility to the development and outcome of LAA stroke in Han Chines.

Abstract
The cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 is a major therapeutic target for the treatment of various inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. While IL-6 receives considerable attention in studies of innate and adaptive immunity, the IL-6-related family member IL-27 is recognized increasingly for its effects on cellular proliferation, differentiation and leucocyte effector functions. Both cytokines activate responses in myeloid and stromal tissue cells, where they direct the transition from innate to adaptive immunity. However, they are identified frequently as lymphokines that control responses in T cells and B cells. In this regard, IL-27 often opposes the action of IL-6. Here, we will review the role of IL-6 and IL-27 in inflammation, with a particular focus on inflammatory arthritis, and discuss their importance in the diagnosis, stratification and treatment of autoimmune disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The high prevalence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) globally is attributable to an interaction between environmental and genetic factors. Gene × diet interaction studies aim to explore how a modifiable factor interacts with genetic predispositions. Here we have explored the interaction of a heat shock protein (HSP70) gene polymorphism (+1267A > G) with dietary intake and their possible association with serum C-reactive protein (CRP), an inflammatory marker, that is a major component of CVD risk. METHODS HSP70 genotype was determined using a TaqMan real time PCR based method.Dietary intake was assessed using a dietary questionnaire. Serum high sensitivity (Hs) CRP and other cardiovascular risk factors were assessed by routine methods. This included coronary angioplasty to determine the presence of coronary artery stenosis. RESULTS There were significant differences between serum lipid profile and Hs-CRP across the genotypes for Hsp70. The carriers of G allele had higher serum hs-CRP concentrations, compared with the AA homozygotes, with the wild genotype. Interaction analysis showed the association was modulated by total energy intake; the interaction of high energy intake with GG genotype: RERI = 0.77, AP = 0.26, S = 1.6. CONCLUSION We have found a significant association between the +1267A > G variant of the HSP70 gene with cardiovascular risk factors and serum hs-CRP concentrations. It is possible that a low energy diet could ameliorate the unfavorable effects of G allele of HSP70.

Abstract
The interaction of genetic and dietary factors, as an area of CVD research, has been explored poorly. The aim of the present study was to examine the interaction of dietary patterns and three genetic variants of APOA1 and APOC3, both independently and in combination, relative to the risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Tehranian adults. In the present matched, nested case–control study, 414 subjects with the MetS and 414 controls were selected from the participants of the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Dietary patterns were determined by factor analysis. APOC3 (rs5128 3238C>G) and APOA1 (rs670, − 75G>A and rs5069,+83C>T) SNP were genotyped by the conventional PCR followed by the restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. Overall, three major dietary patterns were extracted: healthy dietary pattern (HDP); Western dietary pattern (WDP); fat–sweet dietary pattern (FSDP). The A and T allele carriers of the APOA1 SNP had a greater risk of developing the MetS in the highest quartile of WDP scores (OR 3·22, 95 % CI 1·21, 8·58, Pinteraction= 0·03). Compared with other genotype combinations, the combined effect of APOC3/APOA1 (CC/GA+AA/CT+TT) genotypes showed a further increase in the risk of the MetS in the highest quartile of WDP scores (OR 1, 2·49, 8·73, 6·32, Ptrend< 0·001, Pinteraction= 0·003). A significant interaction was found between the quartiles of FSDP scores and the APOA1 diplotype (GA+AA/CT+TT). OR for these genotype carriers were 1, 0·65, 0·57 and 0·22 (Ptrend= 0·006) in the lowest to the highest quartile of FSDP scores when compared with the other combined genotypes (Pinteraction= 0·03). Our findings suggest that the WDP and FSDP are associated with APOA1 and APOC3 SNP in relation to the risk of the MetS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate if percentile-specific effects of genetic, environmental and lifestyle obesity risk factors on body mass index (BMI) might reflect gene-environment interactions with respect to the development of overweight. DESIGN AND METHODS Retrospective study with data of 2,346 children from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), using quantile regression with body fat mass index (FMI) for children at the age of 9 years as outcome variable. We assessed interactions of an "obesity-risk-allele-score" with environmental and nutritional factors. RESULTS There was no evidence of interactions between the obesity-risk-allele score and the environmental variables except for maternal overweight. However, we found a significant interaction with respect to intake of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids at the age of 7. In children with low intake, genetic risk was associated with increasing effect sizes by FMI percentile. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest an interaction between a low dietary content of unsaturated fatty acids and genetic risk factors for overweight on FMI. This effect is likely to be stronger in children with higher FMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study was to evaluate the relationship between the interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) 48892 A/C single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (rs8192284) and the metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components among young adolescents in Taiwan. METHODS We enrolled 925 adolescents (451 boys and 474 girls). Modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel-III (NCEP ATP-III) criteria were applied to define MetS (with age- and gender-specific 90th percentile cutoff point of variables). Subjects had three or more of the following cardiometabolic abnormalities that occur in MetS: high blood pressure, high fasting glucose, high triglyceride (TG), low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and obesity. The characteristics of the MetS components associated with different alleles and genotypes of the IL-6R rs8192284 SNP were compared. RESULTS Frequencies of alleles and genotypes of the IL-6R 48892 polymorphism were similar in both sexes. Boys with C-alleles had borderline lower TG levels than A-allele carriers (66.0±30.1 vs. 70.3±34.6 mg/dL, p=0.07). However, girls with C-alleles had higher waist circumference (WC) (68.0±7.9 vs. 67.0±7.7 cm) and lower HDL-C levels (50.7±11.1 vs. 52.2±11.7 g/dL) than A-allele carriers (p=0.05). The prevalence of MetS and its components, high WC and low HDL-C level, were higher in female C-allele carriers (all p<0.05) but not in boys. The odds ratios for high WC, low HDL-C levels, and MetS for female C-allele carriers were 1.54 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01-2.34), 1.49 (95% CI: 1.01-2.18), and 2.19-2.39 (95% CI: 1.15-4.51), respectively, when compared with A-allele carriers. CONCLUSIONS The IL-6R 48892 A/C polymorphism is associated with high TG and WC, and low HDL-C levels in adolescents. Additionally, there is a gender difference in the incidence of MetS, indicating a possible gene-gender interaction of the IL-6R 48892 A/C polymorphism in MetS among Taiwanese adolescents.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Interleukin-6 receptor (IL6R) has been linked with type 2 diabetes and obesity. The presence of the Asp allele in Asp358Ala of IL6R has been linked with insulin resistance and weight gain. AIM The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency and the association of the Asp358Ala in the IL6R gene in Chilean women with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and its relationship with body mass index (BMI). PATIENTS AND METHODS One hundred and forty-five patients with T1D (N = 145) and healthy control women (N = 103) were recruited. The polymorphisms were studied with polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphisms. The effect of the polymorphisms on BMI and age of diagnosis was evaluated. RESULTS A higher frequency of the Asp allele was observed in patients with T1D compared with controls (0.483 vs. 0.364; p < 0.01). The Asp358Asp genotype was more prevalent in the T1D group compared with controls (0.152 vs. 0.097; p < 0.01). T1D patients younger than 19 years had a positive association of BMI-standard deviation scores with the Asp allele (p < 0.05). Finally, lower Glycated Hemoglobin 1c (HbA1c) levels were observed in patients carrying the Asp allele (p < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS T1D in Chilean women appears to be associated with the presence of the Asp allele in IL6R. The IL6R polymorphism (Asp358/Asp) was associated with BMI in T1D patients. This genetic variant could have some role in weight gain in T1D women.

Abstract
Background To analyze the potential genetic associations between four polymorphisms of interleukin-6 receptor (IL-6R) gene and atherosclerotic lipid profiles among young adolescents in Taiwan. Methods Using data from the Taipei Children Heart Study-II - a cross-sectional survey in 2003. After multi-stage sampling, we selected 418 boys and 441 girls with an average age of 13.1 years. We genotyped the subjects for four IL-6R gene polymorphisms (rs4845617 G/A, rs4845623 A/G, rs8192284 A/C, and rs2229238 C/T) using a TaqMan 5' nuclease assay. Lipid profiles, including total cholesterol (CHOL), triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured using standard methods. We also calculated CHOL/HDL-C ratio, LDL-C/HDL-C ratio, and TG/HDL-C ratio as atherosclerotic indexes. Results IL-6R rs8192284 A/C and rs2229238 C/T variants showed strong associations with high TG (additive model, OR = 1.58, 95%CI: 1.05-2.37; OR = 1.55, 95%CI: 1.04-2.29, respectively), low HDL-C (additive model, OR = 1.57, 95%CI: 1.03-2.39; OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.12-2.52, respectively), and high CHOL/HDL-C (additive model, OR = 1.68, 95%CI: 1.08-2.61, OR = 1.82, 95%CI: 1.18-2.79, respectively) in girls. We inferred five common haplotypes using rs4845617 G/A, rs4845623 A/G, and rs2229238 C/T (GAC, GAT, GGC, AAC, and AAT). In girls, the AAT haplotype was associated with a significant risk of high TG, low HDL-C, high CHOL/HDL-C, and abnormal lipid levels (high TG or low HDL-C) when compared with the GAC haplotype (OR range = 3.08-4.40, all p < 0.05). Conclusion The IL-6R rs8192284 A/C and rs2229238 C/T variants are associated with dyslipidemia in girls, but not in boys. The AAT haplotype of the IL-6R gene (rs4845617 G/A, rs4845623 A/G, and rs2229238 C/T) may play an important role in the pathogenesis of dyslipidemia and atherosclerosis in girls.

Abstract
Genome-wide association studies have identified the cyclin-dependent kinase 5 regulatory subunit-associated protein 1-like 1 (CDKAL1) gene as a novel risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Application of this genetic marker for prevention of type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in healthy populations has not yet been evaluated. The authors examined the effects of a CDKAL1 polymorphism (rs9465871) on metabolic phenotype and of gene-lifestyle (CDKAL1-energy intake) interaction on MetS in a cohort of apparently healthy Japanese men examined in 2003. The CC genotype of the CDKAL1 variant was associated with elevated glycosylated hemoglobin A₁(c) (HbA1c) levels. The prevalence of MetS was 25.6% for CC and 16.3% for TT + CT (odds ratio = 2.18, 95% confidence interval: 1.06, 4.48; P = 0.035). When dietary energy intake was accounted for, the variant's effect on HbA1c was observed in the highest energy-intake group (mean: CC, 5.6% (standard deviation, 1.7); TT + CT, 5.0% (standard deviation, 0.5); P = 0.025). In addition, the positive association between HbA1c and energy intake was stronger in subjects with the CC genotype than in subjects with TT + CT. These results suggest that the interaction between the CDKAL1 polymorphism and dietary energy intake influences the dysglycemic phenotype leading to MetS, possibly through impaired insulin secretion. The CDKAL1 polymorphism may be a marker for MetS in the Japanese population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to explore the combined effect of the C-reactive protein (CRP) +2147 A/G (rs1205) and interleukin (IL)-6R rs2229238 C/T single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the anthropometric variables of school children in Taiwan. SUBJECTS AND DESIGN Cross-sectional analyses were performed using the data from the Taipei Children Heart Study-II. After multi-stage sampling, we selected 430 boys and 463 girls with an average age of 13.1 years. We genotyped these individuals for the CRP +2147 A/G and IL-6R rs2229238 C/T SNPs using a TaqMan 5' nuclease assay. Anthropometric characteristics, which included body height, body weight (BW), body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), body fat percentage (BF), and waist circumference to height ratio (WHtR), were measured/calculated. RESULTS When considering the CRP +2147 A/G polymorphism, GG genotype boys were heavier and had larger BMI, WC, HC, BF and WHtR than A allele carriers. The odds ratio (OR) of larger WHtR in GG genotype boys was 2.14 (95% CI: 1.09-4.21). For the IL-6R rs2229238 C/T polymorphism, T allele carrier girls had larger WC and WHtR than those carrying the CC genotype. The OR of a larger HC for T allele carrier boys was 2.33 (95% CI: 1.16-4.68). Boys with the GG genotype of CRP +2147 A/G and the CC genotype of IL-6R rs2229238 C/T had higher OR for BW, BMI, WC, HC, BF and WHtR than boys who were carriers of the A allele of CRP +2147 A/G and had the CC genotype of IL-6R rs2229238 C/T (OR range=3.86-8.04, all P<0.05). CONCLUSION Boys who carry the GG genotype of CRP +2147 A/G and the CC genotype of IL-6R rs2229238 C/T have a greater risk of having abnormal BW, BMI, WC, HC, BF and WHtR and of developing obesity than individuals who do not have these genotypes.

Abstract
Obesity is a public health problem that has become epidemic worldwide. Substantial literature has emerged to show that overweight and obesity are major causes of co-morbidities, including type II diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, various cancers and other health problems, which can lead to further morbidity and mortality. The related health care costs are also substantial. Therefore, a public health approach to develop population-based strategies for the prevention of excess weight gain is of great importance. However, public health intervention programs have had limited success in tackling the rising prevalence of obesity. This paper reviews the definition of overweight and obesity and the variations with age and ethnicity; health consequences and factors contributing to the development of obesity; and critically reviews the effectiveness of current public health strategies for risk factor reduction and obesity prevention.

Abstract
A genômica nutricional avalia o efeito da variação genética na interação entre dieta e doenças crônicas. O objetivo deste manuscrito foi revisar os principais polimorfismos associados à obesidade, ao diabetes melito e também aos fatores da dieta. As principais interações entre polimorfismos genéticos e dieta foram: para obesidade: interleucina-6 (IL-6) com consumo energético; receptor ativado por proliferador de peroxissoma gama 2 (PPAR-gama2) e fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) com consumo de gorduras; receptor β-adrenérgico 2 (ADRB2) e receptor da melanocortina-4 (MCR4) com consumo de carboidratos; para perda de peso: proteínas desacopladoras (UCPs) com restrição calórica; para leptinemia: receptor da leptina (LEPR) com restrição calórica; para diabetes melito: PPAR-gama2 com consumo de gordura; para hipertrigliceridemia: proteína transportadora de ácidos graxos 2 (FABP2) com consumo de gordura. Os dados apresentados sugerem que a genômica nutricional é importante ao desenvolvimento da obesidade e do diabetes melito.

Abstract
The epidemic of obesity has become a major public health problem. Common-form obesity is underpinned by both environmental and genetic factors. Epidemiological studies have documented that increased intakes of energy and reduced consumption of high-fiber foods, as well as sedentary lifestyle, were among the major driving forces for the epidemic of obesity. Recent genome-wide association studies have identified several genes convincingly related to obesity risk, including the fat mass and obesity associated gene and the melanocortin-4 receptor gene. Testing gene-environment interaction is a relatively new field. This article reviews recent advances in identifying the genetic and environmental risk factors (lifestyle and diet) for obesity. The evidence for gene-environment interaction, especially from observational studies and randomized intervention trials, is examined specifically. Knowledge about the interplay between genetic and environmental components may facilitate the choice of more effective and specific measures for obesity prevention based on the personalized genetic make-up.

Abstract
Inflammatory responses represent a hallmark of numerous pathologies including sepsis, bacterial infection, insulin resistance, and malign obesity. Here we describe an unexpected coactivator function for the nuclear receptor interacting protein 140 (RIP140) for nuclear factor kappaB (NFkappaB), a master transcriptional regulator of inflammation in multiple tissues. Previous work has shown that RIP140 suppresses the expression of metabolic gene networks, but we have found that genetic as well as acute deficiency of RIP140 leads to the inhibition of the proinflammatory program in macrophages. The ability of RIP140 to function as a coactivator for cytokine gene promoter activity relies on direct protein-protein interactions with the NFkappaB subunit RelA and histone acetylase cAMP-responsive element binding protein (CREB)-binding protein (CBP). RIP140-dependent control of proinflammatory gene expression via RelA/CBP may, therefore, represent a molecular rational for the cellular integration of metabolic and inflammatory pathways.

Abstract
Cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor alpha-like effector A (CIDEA) regulates energy expenditure in the adipose tissue and is implicated in the development of obesity. A single nucleotide polymorphism in the CIDEA gene that causes an amino acid substitution of valine 115 to c(V115F) has recently been shown to be associated with obesity in the Swedish population. Here, we determined the effects of this polymorphism on phenotypes of metabolic syndrome within the Japanese population. Two hundred seventy unrelated Japanese male workers (mean age, 44.5 years) were analyzed in a cross-sectional study. The clinical features regarding metabolic syndrome, as well as CIDEA V115F polymorphism, were determined for each individual. The V115F polymorphism associated with waist circumference and fasting plasma glucose. These parameters were at higher levels in the VF + FF group than in the VV group (P < .05). The VF + FF group compared with the VV group had a higher prevalence for abdominal obesity (odds ratio [OR] = 1.89; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.03-3.44), high fasting plasma glucose (OR = 2.81; 95% CI, 1.03-7.67), and metabolic syndrome (OR = 3.15; 95% CI, 1.05-9.48). These results suggest that the F allele of the CIDEA gene may serve as a risk factor for phenotypes related to metabolic syndrome in Japanese men.
