The role of the PGC1? Gly482Ser polymorphism in weight gain due to intensive diabetes therapy.

ABSTRACT: The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) involved intensive diabetes therapy of subjects with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) for an average period of 6.5 years. A subset of these subjects gained excessive weight. We tested for association of polymorphisms in 8 candidate genes with the above trait. We found the Gly482Ser polymorphism in the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor ? coactivator-1? (PGC1?) to be significantly associated with weight gain in males (P = .0045) but not in females. The Ser allele was associated with greater weight gain than the Gly allele (P = .005). Subjects with a family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were more common among those who gained excessive weight. We conclude that T2DM and the Gly482Ser polymorphism in PGC1? contribute to the effect of intensive diabetes therapy on weight gain in males with T1DM.

Project description:RationaleWeight gain is a frequent side effect of treatment with SGAs (second-generation antipsychotics) and a leading cause for nonadherence. Several candidate genes have been identified that could influence the amount of AIWG (antipsychotic-induced weight gain). The polymorphism rs17782313 near the MC4R (human melanocortin 4 receptor gene) was strongly associated with obesity in a large scale GWAS (genome wide association study), yet previous studies investigating its impact on AIWG did not lead to a definite conclusion regarding its effect. In particular, they were all relatively short and had a naturalistic design.ObjectiveWe therefore examined the influence of the rs17782313 polymorphism on SGA-related weight gain.MethodsParticipants of a multicenter randomized, controlled, double-blind study comparing two treatment strategies in individuals with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder were genotyped using a rapid-cycle polymerase chain reaction. Up to 252 individuals completed the first 2 weeks (phase I), 212 the entire 8 weeks (hence 'completers'). Patients received either amisulpride or olanzapine or both consecutively. Thirty-seven had their first episode. Weight gain occurring in different genotypes was statistically compared and confounding factors were adjusted by stepwise multiple linear regression. A correction for multiple testing was included.ResultsWithin 212 'completers', carriers of the C allele had a higher absolute weight gain than those homozygous for the T allele (2.6 kg vs. 1.2 kg), though this observation was not significant (P = 0.063). In the amisulpride subpopulation, this association appeared stronger and reached significance (2.5 kg vs. 0.7 kg, P = 0.043), though failed to remain significant after correction for multiple testing. A stepwise multiple linear regression showed a significant association in both the whole study population (P < 0.001) and the amisulpride subpopulation (P < 0.001).ConclusionOur results indicate that the rs17782313 polymorphism might influence antipsychotic-induced weight gain and therefore confirm some of the earlier conclusions.

Project description:ObjectivesMuscle health is essential for children's physical development and future health. PPARGC1A gene encode the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor coactivator 1α which coactivates transcription factors that control mediating skeletal muscle fiber type conversion and skeletal muscle fiber formation. The PPARGC1A rs8192678 Gly/Ser (Gly482Ser) polymorphism was associated with the regulation of skeletal muscle fibre type. This paper aims to explore the association between the PPARGC1A rs8192678 (Gly482Ser) polymorphism and muscle fitness in Chinese schoolchildren.MethodsWe detected the distribution of the PPARGC1A rs8192678 (Gly482Ser) polymorphism by DNA typing of saliva samples from untrained Southern Chinese Han children aged 7-12 years. Considering that muscle studies in children cannot use invasive sampling, we analyzed the association between alleles and genotypes with high validity tests of muscle fitness assesment in children(handgrip strength, standing long jump, sit-ups and push-ups).ResultsThe results showed no significant differences in height, weight or body mass index between the sexes. The grip strength indicators were correlated with age in boys and height and weight in girls. Sit-ups were significantly higher in girls with the PPARGC1A Gly/Gly genotype than in boys, and handgrip strength and standing long jump were significantly lower in girls with the PPARGC1A rs8192678 (Gly482Ser) genotype than in boys. Genetic model analysis showed that the Gly482 allele had a dominant genetic effect on the Gly482 allele is hypothesized to influence the expression of type I fibers in skeletal muscle in girls, while the Ser482 allele affects on type II fibers in girls. The two alleles had little genetic effect on boys.ConclusionsThe results suggested the possible association of the PPARGC1A rs8192678 (Gly482Ser) polymorphism on myofibril type-related phenotypes in Han Chinese children in southern China, with a particular impact on girls.
