Background/aims: In recent years, with improvements in genotyping, a possible relationship between obesity-related gene polymorphisms and colorectal cancer (CRC) has been studied. The promoter region C-420G of the resistin gene is believed to have an important role in the development of malignancy. We prospectively evaluated the possible effect of the resistin C-420G polymorphism on the risk and prognosis of CRC.
Materials And Methods: One hundred twenty-three patients with CRC and 79 healthy individuals were included in the study. Blood samples were genotyped, and the relationship between the resistin C-420G polymorphism and demographic characteristics and tumor features was evaluated.
Results: No statistically significant difference was found in genotype distribution between the patient and control groups and among patients in the means of gender, biochemical findings, and tumor characteristics (p>0.05).
Conclusion: The relationship between the C-420G polymorphism and various diseases has been evaluated in many studies to date. With the increased importance of obesity in etiopathogenesis, studies have focused on CRC. According to our results, the GG genotype may be associated with a decreased CRC risk. Our study is important because to our knowledge, it is the first one to be conducted in a Turkish population to date, but we believe that more patients and controls are needed to obtain statistically significant results.

Background: The study of genetic predisposition to pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) has brought new insights into the pathophysiology of SLE, as it is hypothesized that genetic predisposition is greater in children. Furthermore, identifying genetic variants and linking disrupted genes to abnormal immune pathways and clinical manifestations can be beneficial for both diagnosis and treatment. Here, we identified genetic alterations in a patient with childhood-onset SLE and analyzed the immunological mechanisms behind them to support future diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment.

Polymorphisms in the LEP (G-2548A and A19G), LEPR (A326G, A668G and G3057A) and RETN (C-420G and G+62A) genes were documented according to their association with alterations in biochemical parameters such as glucose, insulin and lipid profiles, along with serum leptin and resistin concentrations. The aim of the study was to establish any contribution of the G-2548A and A19G polymorphisms of the LEP gene, the A326G, A668G and G3057A polymorphisms of the LEPR gene, and the C-420G and G+62A polymorphisms of the RETN gene to serum leptin and resistin levels in Mexican young adults. Clinical and biochemical variables, serum leptin and resistin levels, and genotype profiles were analysed in 66 Mexican young adults.

Background And Objectives: Resistin is an adipocytokine, which has been studied for its role in insulin resistance and recently in inflammation. Several single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been identified in the human resistin gene (RETN). This study aims to investigate the association of RETN rs1862513 (C-420G) and rs3745367 (G+299A) SNPs with the colon cancer risk in Saudi patients.
