ABSTRACT
Objective@#To study the relationship between rs1136410 polymorphism in poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1 gene (PARP-1) with obesity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in children and adolescents, and to provide a reference for demonstrating the mechanism of obesity and NAFLD of children and adolescents and making the early prevention strategies.@*Methods@#In total, 2 030 children and adolescents aged 7-18 years old were recruited. Anthropometric measurements were performed. Liver B-ultrasound detection were performed in a subgroup. The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TDF MS) was used for genotyping the rs1136410 polymorphism. Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationship between rs1136410 polymorphism and obesity or NAFLD in children and adolescents.@*Results@#Totally, 1 325 subjects were in non-obese group and 705 subjects were in obese group. The frequency of G allele and A allele were 43.86% and 56.14%. After adjusting for gender, age, and study population, the risk of obesity increased by 1.17 times for each additional A allele of rs1136410 polymorphism(OR=1.17, 95%CI=1.02-1.33, P=0.03). And the risk of NAFLD increased by 1.43 times for each additional A allele of rs1136410 polymorphism(OR=1.43, 95%CI=1.11-1.85, P=0.01). After further adjustment for BMI, rs1136410 polymorphism was not associated with NAFLD(P=0.70).@*Conclusion@#The rs1136410 polymorphism in PARP-1 gene is associated with obesity and NAFLD in children and adolescents. The effect of the gene polymorphism on NAFLD is mediated by BMI.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To examine the association between polymorphism of rs10185316 in insulin-induced gene 2 (INSIG2) and blood pressure among children and adolescents.@*Methods@#9 junior middle schools in Dongcheng District of Beijing and 5 schools (3 primary junior middle schools, 2 primary schools) in Haidian District of Beijing were chosen in 2005 and 2007, respectively. According to the Chinese BMI percentile criteria for screening overweight and obesity in school children, we recruited 1 425 overweight or obese children and 605 normal weight children. A total of 2 018 students with complete data of blood pressure and genotype data were included in this study. According to the blood pressure criterion of children and adolescents, 702 participants were categorized into high blood pressure group and 1 316 into normal blood pressure group. Participants' information of gender, age, height, weight and blood pressure were collected by questionnaire and physical examination. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood sample for genotyping of INSIG2 rs10185316 polymorphism. Multiple linear regression was conducted to analyze the associations between rs10185316 polymorphism in INSIG2 and SBP, DBP, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure.@*Results@#The age, BMI, SBP and DBP of the high blood pressure group were separately (14.3±1.4) years old, (27.3±4.2) kg/m2, (130.5±10.9) and (76.7±13.3) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), all higher than that of the normal blood pressure group, which were (12.2±2.9) years old, (22.0±4.0) kg/m2, (104.4±10.9) and(54.6±15.2) mmHg, respectively (all P values<0.001). After age, sex, district and BMI adjusted, compared with the participants carrying INSIG2 rs10185316 CC genotype, CG/GG genotype carriers had lower DBP (β(95%CI):-1.67(-2.84--0.50), P=0.005), higher PP(β(95%CI): 1.91(0.61-3.20), P=0.004), and lower MAP(β(95%CI):=-1.03(-2.01--0.05), P=0.039).@*Conclusion@#INSIG2 rs10185316 polymorphism was associated with DBP, PP and MAP among children and adolescents in an independent way from BMI.

Objective:To study the relationship between rs 2228314 polymorphism in sterol regulatory element binding protein 2 gene (SREBP2) and obesity, serum lipid levels in children and adolescents . Methods:In our study , 2 030 children and adolescents aged from 7 to 18 years participated .Anthropo-metric measurements, including height and weight, were performed.Their serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ( HDL-C) were detected .The matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS ) was used to detect rs2228314 genotypes.Results: The GC/CC genotypes of rs2228314 polymorphisms had lower HDL-C levels than GG genotype [(0.10 ±0.35) mmol/L vs. (0.14 ±0.36) mmol/L, P=0.020].The rs2228314 polymorphism was associated with the abnormal HDL-C level under the dominant model after adjustment for study samples , sex and age ( OR=1.400, 95%CI:1.027-1.907, P=0.033).The rs2228314 polymorphism was not associated with obesity un-der the dominant model after adjustment for study samples , sex, age and HDL-C level ( OR=1.178, 95%CI: 0 .971 -1 .430 , P =0 .096 ) . Conclusion: The GC/CC genotype carriers of SREBP2 rs2228314 polymorphism have higher risk of abnormal HDL-C level than the individuals with GG geno-type among children and adolescents .
