Rationale: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a high-prevalence condition characterized by altered energy metabolism, insulin resistance, and elevated cardiovascular risk. Objectives: Although many individual single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been linked to certain MetS features, there are few studies analyzing the influence of SNPs on carbohydrate metabolism in MetS. Methods: A total of 904 SNPs (tag SNPs and functional SNPs) were tested for influence on 8 fasting and dynamic markers of carbohydrate metabolism, by performance of an intravenous glucose tolerance test in 450 participants in the LIPGENE study. Findings: From 382 initial gene-phenotype associations between SNPs and any phenotypic variables, 61 (16% of the preselected variables) remained significant after bootstrapping. Top SNPs affecting glucose metabolism variables were as follows: fasting glucose, rs26125 (PPARGC1B); fasting insulin, rs4759277 (LRP1); C-peptide, rs4759277 (LRP1); homeostasis assessment of insulin resistance, rs4759277 (LRP1); quantitative insulin sensitivity check index, rs184003 (AGER); sensitivity index, rs7301876 (ABCC9), acute insulin response to glucose, rs290481 (TCF7L2); and disposition index, rs12691 (CEBPA). Conclusions: We describe here the top SNPs linked to phenotypic features in carbohydrate metabolism among approximately 1000 candidate gene variations in fasting and postprandial samples of 450 patients with MetS from the LIPGENE study.

Increased Risk

Background: The Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) and its involvement in weight gain and obesity is well-known. However, no reports have been published on the Indian population regarding the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in its intronic region and obesity. The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the frequency and association of SNPs in intron-1 of the FTO gene in obese and overweight Indian adults. Methods: This study group consisted of 80 adults, aged 23.5 ± 8.9 yr, with a mean BMI of 28.8 ± 6.2 kg/m2. Genomic DNA was isolated, exons1-3 & intron1 of FTO were amplified using polymerase chain reaction and sequenced by ABI sequencing detection system. The reported SNPs rs1420185, rs8050136, rs1121980 and rs55872725 were checked for their presence or absence in this group of the adult Indian population. Results: No mutations were found in the exonic sequence of FTO, however, the association of rs1420185, rs8050136, rs1121980 and rs55872725 SNPs was identified in this population. The genotypic frequency at FTO rs8050136 was 32.2% for C>A, at rs55872725 it was 45.7% for C>T, at rs1420185 it was 27.1% for T>C and at rs1121980 it was 30.5% for G>A. All four SNPs in combination were observed in 6 participants (10.2%), all of whom were found to be either obese or overweight. Conclusion: These findings indicate that Indians with these SNPs are most likely to be at increased risk of obesity.

Apoa5 Gene

Background and aims: The APOA5 gene is one of the genes involved in metabolic syndrome (MetS), as a constellation of several cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. The present study evaluated the possible associations between five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the microRNA target site (miR-TS-SNPs) of the APOA5 gene with MetS. Methods: This case-control study included 57 MetS cases, along with 59 normal children and adolescents aged 9-18 years. All miR-TSSNPs rs188133936, rs72525532, rs45596738, rs148759216, and rs114627122 were genotyped by polymerase chain reaction-sequencing. Independent t-test, as well as the chi-square test and logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association of SNPs with MetS risk and its clinical components. Results: The mean (SD) age of MetS participants and controls was 12.35 (0.25) and 13.39 (0.38) years, respectively. Although no nucleotide changes were present in rs188133936, rs45596738, rs148759216, and rs114627122, a greater frequency of A insertion was detected in rs72525532 in MetS cases compared with the control group (P=0.012). This variant showed a significant difference in triglycerides (TG) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) levels between different genotype groups (P<0.0001 and P=0.05, respectively) in controls. Furthermore, AA insertion genotype was correlated with an increased risk of MetS (Odds ratio [95% CI] = 8.12 [0.966-68.27], P=0.05). Conclusion: This study was the first to investigate the association between rs188133936, rs45596738, rs148759216, rs76463524, and rs72525532 variants of the APOA5 gene and MetS. Our findings reveal that rs72525532 might have an impact on TG, HDL levels, and the risk of MetS
