RESUMO
BACKGROUND: There is little information about the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and nutritional status and weight loss after bariatric surgery. This study investigated the interactive effect of eight obesity-related SNPs and nutritional status on weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). METHOD: This is a case-control study. After 1-year follow-up, the patients who underwent RYGB were dividing into two groups. The case group consisted of patients who lost more than 50% of their excess body weight (EBW%) 1 year after the surgery. The control group included patients who lost < 50% of EBW at same time frame. Then, the relationship between eight SNPs related to UCP2, FTO, LEPR, GHRL, and NPY genes with weight loss were checked. RESULTS: In this study, 160 patients were recruited. The median of age for case and control group were 43 and 42 respectively. The presence of mutant variant NPYrs16147 had a significant relationship in terms of weight loss between the two groups (P > 0.05). In dominant model, two SNPs, UCP2 rs659366 and UCP2 rs660339, showed protective effect of the vitamin D deficiency. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, the presence mutant variant of NPYrs16147 is directly related to the incidence of weight loss greater than 50% of EBW. However, it is apparent individual behavioral, dietary, and other factors may have more influence on weight loss among patients underwent RYGB.
