In 94 persons living in the Moscow region, with a body mass index >25 kg/m2 were identified on the polymorphism rs9939609 FTO gene. The results showed that 83% of them were carriers of the mutant allele, and 43%--contained the mutant allele in the homozygous state. Carriers of the mutant allele rs9939609 FTO gene were distinguished by higher absolute and relative values of fat mass and triglycerides in serum.

Interactions of spontaneous abortion with gene and dietary carotenoids; a case-control study.
J Nutr Sci
December 2024
Cancer Research Center, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous abortion (SA) is a common complication in pregnancy influenced by genetic factors and maternal nutrition.
- A study analyzed 192 women with a history of SA versus 347 healthy women, examining the impact of dietary carotenoids and specific gene polymorphisms on the occurrence of SA.
- The findings revealed that higher intake of β-cryptoxanthin might protect against SA only in women with the TT genotype of the related gene, while no significant links were found for other carotenoids.
Body mass as a result of psychological, lifestyle and genetic determinants. A pilot study involving overweight/obese and normal weight women in their early adulthood.
PLoS One
December 2024
Faculty of Food Sciences, Department of Human Nutrition, University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn, Olsztyn, Poland.
Aim: The causes of obesity and overweight are complex and depend on mutually interrelated groups of lifestyle, psychological and genetic factors. Among 46 identified point mutations known within FTO gene, mutation SNP rs9939609 has the strongest effect on an increase in body weight. Therefore, the study aimed to assess psychological, lifestyle and genetic factors (expressed by the frequency of the FTO SNP rs-9939609 gene variant) and their association with body weight in young adult women.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)
December 2024
Department of Internal Medicine, Shunde Women and Children's Hospital (Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital of Shunde Foshan), Guangdong Medical University, Foshan, Guangdong, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the link between genetic polymorphisms (HHEX, IGF2BP2, and FTO) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk in a Chinese population, finding inconsistent results compared to other studies.
- A total of 1,002 participants (500 GDM patients and 502 controls) were genotyped, with various statistical methods employed to assess genotype and allele variations related to GDM risk.
- Significant associations were found, especially in individuals aged 30 and older, with specific genetic models indicating increased risks for developing GDM and higher blood glucose levels in certain genotypes.
Genetic insights into endurance athlete status: A meta-analysis of gene polymorphisms.
J Biol Methods
September 2024
Institute of Health Sciences, Ordu University, Ordu, Turkey.
Article Synopsis
- This meta-analysis examined the relationship between specific gene polymorphisms and endurance athlete performance, focusing on five genes believed to influence physical performance and related biological processes.
- A total of 20 relevant studies published from 2009 to 2023 were analyzed after screening 329 articles for eligibility based on specific criteria.
- Findings revealed no significant differences in allele and genotype frequencies between endurance athletes and control groups for most genes, but the results for the gene rs12594956 were noted as distinct.
Pharmacogenomics in Sri Lanka: a comprehensive systematic review of the research landscape and clinical implications.
Pharmacogenomics
November 2024
Department of Anatomy, Genetics & Biomedical Informatics, Faculty of Medicine, University of Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Article Synopsis
- Pharmacogenomics is gaining traction in South Asia, particularly in Sri Lanka, aiming to enhance drug therapies and minimize side effects for patients.
- A comprehensive review analyzed research in Sri Lanka, where studies were classified into categories like clinical correlational, descriptive, and novel assay development; 11 articles and 8 theses were reviewed.
- While progress has been made, additional clinical studies and a wider scope of genomic research are necessary, alongside efforts to address challenges like funding and public awareness, to successfully implement personalized medicine in the region.
