Genetic factors associated with susceptibility to obesity
This review discusses the various genetic factors and gene products (proteins) related to obesity. The three fundamental mechanisms underlying obesity are: relative increase in energy intake; reLative decrease in energy expenditure; and preferential partitioning of ingested calories to fat storage. Gene defects can be related to any one of these mechanisms, either alone or together. Many geneti...
متن کاملInvestigation of genetic factors associated with polycystic ovary syndrome
Introduction: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common endocrine disorders and causes 75% of infertility due to ovulation disorders in reproductive age. Women with PCOS have oligomenorrhea and hyperandrogenism that affect their quality of life and fertility at the same time. This syndrome has been one of the most controversial endocrine issues for many years. Research today su...
متن کاملCommon Genetic Variant of insig2 Gene rs7566605 Polymorphism Is Associated with Severe Obesity in North India
Background: Obesity is a very common disorder resulting from an imbalance between food intake and energy expenditure, and it has a substantial impact on the development of chronic diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the association of INSIG2 (rs7566605) gene polymorphism with obesity and obesity associated phenotypes in North Indian subjects. Methods: The variants were investig...
متن کاملGenetic factors in susceptibility to contact sensitivity.
There are clear differences in individual susceptibility to the development of contact allergies; some individuals readily become allergic to many chemicals, and others remain clinically tolerant of everything that they come into contact with. A great number of molecules and pathways can contribute to the perturbation by xenobiotics and the subsequent possible immune response. It is necessary t...
متن کاملGenetic factors for obesity.
The purpose of the present study was to identify gene polymorphisms for the reliable assessment of genetic factors for obesity. The study population comprised 3906 unrelated Japanese individuals (2286 men, 1620 women), including 1196 subjects (677 men, 519 women) with obesity (body mass index of > or = 25 kg/m2) and 2710 controls (1609 men, 1101 women). The genotypes for 147 polymorphisms of 12...
