ABSTRACT |
The purpose of the study was to investigate the genetic effect of the PPARGC1A gene on body fatness and metabolic risk factors in Korean children. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of Gly482Ser(rs8192678) in the PPARGC1A gene was genotyped by using a Taqman assay in a total of 283 children (boys=150 & girls=133, aged 8 to 12 years) who were recruited from local elemental schools. Primary outcomes of the study included body composition parameters including weight, height, body mass index, waist circumference, percent body fat and waist-to-hip ratio and metabolic risk factors including resting blood pressures, triglycerides, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting glucose, insulin and homeostasis assessment model of insulin resistance(HOMA-IR). One-way ANOVA followed by bonferroni post-hoc tests was used to test any significant associations between the measured variables and genotype at a statistical significance of p=.05. The Ser482Ser genotype had significantly higher values in body weight (p=.016), percent body fat (p=.009), hip (p=.038) and body mass index (p=.090) than either the Gly482Gly or Gly482Ser genotype. The findings of the study suggest that the Ser482Ser genotype might play as a predisposed risk for obesity in Korean children. |
