Genetic variants in ghrelin (rs27647, rs696217) and leptin (rs7799039) are not associated with body composition parameters but are related to appetitive traits in Mexican young adults
Purpose
Obesity develops as a result of the interplay between obesogenic environment and the individual's eating behaviors. Genetic variants in genes coding for neuropeptides involved in metabolic regulation, such as ghrelin (GHRL) and leptin (LEP) have been associated to development of obesity and its role on appetite regulation has also been suggested. The purpose of this exploratory study was to evaluate the association of genetic variants at GHRL (rs27647, rs696217) and LEP (rs7799039) with body composition parameters as well as food approach and food avoidance appetitive traits in young adults from western Mexico.
Methods
255 young adults were included. Body composition parameters were measured by bioelectrical bioimpedance, and appetitive traits were assessed via Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ). Genotyping of rs27647, rs696217 and rs7799039 variants was performed using PCR-RFLP techniques.
Results and conclusion
Median age for both sexes were 20 (19–21) years, mean body fat percentage was 36.1 ± 7.8 for women, and for men 23.7 ± 7.4. The evaluated genetic variants were not associated to body composition parameters, however GG genotype of the rs696217 variant in GHRL was associated to higher scores on food approach appetitive traits (enjoyment of food p < 0.01 and food responsiveness p < 0.0009). In addition, the GG genotype of rs7799039 variant in LEP was associated to higher scores in food avoidance appetitive traits (emotional undereating p < 0.004 and food fussiness p < 0.001). Our results suggest an association between genetic variants in GHRL and LEP genes with appetitive traits in Mexican young adults, showing an indirect genetic link with obesity, through eating behaviors modulation.

期刊介绍:
Gene Reports publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in all biological contexts, including all prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms, as well as viruses. Gene Reports strives to be a very diverse journal and topics in all fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: DNA Organization, Replication & Evolution -Focus on genomic DNA (chromosomal organization, comparative genomics, DNA replication, DNA repair, mobile DNA, mitochondrial DNA, chloroplast DNA). Expression & Function - Focus on functional RNAs (microRNAs, tRNAs, rRNAs, mRNA splicing, alternative polyadenylation) Regulation - Focus on processes that mediate gene-read out (epigenetics, chromatin, histone code, transcription, translation, protein degradation). Cell Signaling - Focus on mechanisms that control information flow into the nucleus to control gene expression (kinase and phosphatase pathways controlled by extra-cellular ligands, Wnt, Notch, TGFbeta/BMPs, FGFs, IGFs etc.) Profiling of gene expression and genetic variation - Focus on high throughput approaches (e.g., DeepSeq, ChIP-Seq, Affymetrix microarrays, proteomics) that define gene regulatory circuitry, molecular pathways and protein/protein networks. Genetics - Focus on development in model organisms (e.g., mouse, frog, fruit fly, worm), human genetic variation, population genetics, as well as agricultural and veterinary genetics. Molecular Pathology & Regenerative Medicine - Focus on the deregulation of molecular processes in human diseases and mechanisms supporting regeneration of tissues through pluripotent or multipotent stem cells.
