Abstract
Adiponectin is secreted by fat cells and appears to exert favorable metabolic effects. Some polymorphisms in ADIPOQ gene might be associated with obesity and cardiometabolic risk. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible association of the polymorphism rs2241766 (ADIPOQ45 T/G) with the obese phenotype in a population of Maracaibo, Zulia state. The polymorphism was investigated in groups of obese (OB) and nonobese (No OB) individuals by PCR-RFLP. The genotypic frequency of rs2241766 polymorphism in the population was 80% for ADIPOQ45 T/T homozygous variant and 20% for ADIPOQ45 T/G heterozygous variant. The ADIPOQ45 homozygous genotype G/G was not found in this study. The allele frequencies of ADIPOQ45 T and G were 90% and 10%, respectively. Although ADIPOQ45 G allelic frequency was higher in the OB group, genotypic and allelic homogeneous distribution between OB and No OB groups support the lack of association of a particular allele with obesity. The ADIPOQ45 T/G genotype exhibited higher values in anthropometric indicators of obesity, serum lipid levels, basal glycemia, blood pressure and low serum HDL-cholesterol, revealing an unfavorable metabolic profile compared to individuals with ADIPOQ 45 T/T genotype, no significant differences between genotypes was found. This preliminary study established that the population evaluated exhibited an ADIPOQ 45 allelic frequency similar to that reported in European populations. The results of this study are consistent with research indicating modest effects of heterozygous genotype ADIPOQ45 T/G on obesity and other metabolic disorders.
