Abstract
Background
This study aimed to see whether the adiponectin 45T/G (rs2241766) and visfatin 4689G/T (rs2110385) gene polymorphisms in an Iranian population are linked to obesity and/or obesity-related traits in normal and obese individuals.
Methods
230 obese individuals and 169 healthy controls had their genomic DNA taken. The alleles and genotypes of the rs2241766 and rs2110385 polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) technique.
Results
Obese individuals had considerably greater frequencies of the G allele and GG genotypes of the rs2241766 polymorphism than healthy controls (35% vs 21%, Probability (P) <0.0001, odds ratios (OR): 1.99, 95% confidence intervals (CI): 1.45-2.75 and 21% vs 7%, P = 0.002, OR: 3.52, 95% CI: 1.81-6.85, respectively). In comparison to healthy controls, obesity patients had substantially lower frequencies of the T allele and TT genotype of the rs2241766 polymorphism (65% vs 79%, P < 0.0001, OR: 0.50, 95% CI: 0.36-0.69 and 51% vs 65%, P = 0.008, OR: 0.58, 95% CI: 0.39-0.87, respectively). Obese individuals had substantially higher frequencies of the G allele and GG genotype in the rs2110385 polymorphism than healthy controls (77% vs 69%, P = 0.01, OR: 1.47, 95% CI: 1.07-2.0 and 61% versus 51%, P = 0.047, OR: 1.5, 95% CI: 1.0-2.2, respectively). When compared to healthy controls, the frequency of the T allele in the rs2110385 polymorphism was considerably lower in obese individuals (23% vs 31%, P = 0.01, OR: 0.68, 95% CI: 0.5-0.93). Furthermore, these single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were shown to have a strong link to clinical data in obese individuals. In the case of adiponectin, 45T/G (rs2241766) genotypes, serum low-density lipoprotein, waist circumference, and diastolic blood pressure were substantially different among the rs2241766 genotypes (P = 0.007, P = 0.000, and P = 0.011, respectively). In the instance of the visfatin 4689G/T (rs2110385) gene polymorphism, serum triglycerides was substantially different among the rs2110385 genotypes (P = 0.039).
Conclusions
In the Iranian population, our findings revealed a strong link between adiponectin and visfatin gene polymorphisms and obesity and several obesity-related clinical characteristics. These SNPs might be used to identify those who are at risk of becoming obese.
