Important biological factors for cardiometabolic risk *.

Biological Factors References
  • The FTO rs9939609 variant was associated with obesity

  • FTO rs17817449 SNP was related to BMI in males and postmenopausal females

  • FTO rs17817449 SNP was associated with the susceptibility to T2D and development of T2D complications

  • The effect of the FTO rs17817449 variant on BMI is mediated through the effect on the basal metabolic rate, and its effect is more pronounced in women

  • FTO and MC4R gene variants enhance the impact of an intensive lifestyle intervention on BMI decrease in overweight/obese children; this association was not confirmed in overweight females

  • The TMEM18 rs7561317 was associated with underweight

  • BDNF rs925946 and MC4R rs17782313 were associated with metabolic syndrome

  • PCSK1 rs6235 was negatively related to increased blood glucose

  • INSIG2 polymorphism has no significant effect on BMI and plasma lipids

  • PPARα and PPARγ2 polymorphisms have no significant effect on anthropometric, biochemical, hormonal, and psychobehavioral characteristics of the subjects

  • NYD-SP18 rs6971019 SNP is related to BMI in males; variants within NYD-SP18 and FTO genes revealed a significant additive effect on BMI values in males

  • Prevalence of MC4R homozygous and heterozygous mutations among Czech obese children is 2.4%, and it is not associated with different responses to diet management
