Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is complex and determined by the interaction between genetic and environmental factors and their influence on obesity, insulin resistance, and related traits associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease risk. Some dynamic markers, including adiponectin (), brain-derived neurotrophic factor ), and lipoprotein lipase (), are implicated in MetS; however, the influence of their genetic variants on MetS susceptibility varies in racial and ethnic groups. We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-SNP interactions among nine SNPs in six genes with MetS's genetic predisposition in Mongolian subjects. A total of 160 patients with MetS for the case group and 144 healthy individuals for the control group were selected to participate in this study. Regression analysis of individual SNPs showed that the + 45GG (odds ratio (OR) = 2.09, = 0.011) and PP of PvuII (OR = 2.10, = 0.038) carriers had an increased risk of MetS. Conversely, G allele of S447X (OR = 0.45, = 0.036) and 482Ser (OR = 0.26, = 0.001) allele were estimated as protective factors, respectively. Moreover, a haplotype containing the G-P-G combination was related to MetS. Significant loci were also related to body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglyceride (TG), and fasting blood glucose (FBG), adipokines, and insulin as well as insulin resistance ( < 0.05). Our results confirm that + 45T > G, PvII, and Gly482Ser loci are associated with MetS in Mongolian subjects.

Vitamin D deficiency in Mongolian men aged 15-49 years.

We aimed to estimate the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in Mongolian men aged from 15 to 49 years at the National level as part of the Fifth National Nutrition Survey in 2016. This was a cross-sectional survey, conducted between September and November in 21 aimags of 4 economic regions of the country, and also in Ulaanbaatar. Given the regional differences in lifestyle and nutritional status, the target populations were stratified into 5 strata based on their economic region and in Ulaanbaatar, with equal samples drawn from each stratum using a cluster-randomized sampling design.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the impact of genetic variations in VDBP on vitamin D levels and asthma susceptibility across different ethnic groups.
- Findings indicate significant ethnic differences in vitamin D levels, with asthmatic individuals generally having lower levels compared to non-asthmatics.
- VDBP polymorphisms were linked to asthma risk in the Latvian group but not in others, highlighting the complexity of these associations across diverse populations.
Evaluation of glypican‑3 in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common cancers occurring worldwide, including Mongolia. Although alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a widely used marker for HCC, conflicting studies have been published regarding its specificity and sensitivity towards HCC. Glypican-3 (GPC3) is a different promising biomarker for HCC, and there is some evidence to suggest that this protein may be a more specific marker compared with AFP.

Background: Y-chromosome haplogroup C2a-M48-F8472, a unique paternal line in the ancient Xiongnu population, is concentrated in the modern Han people. The most closely related lineage of this paternal lineage is mainly distributed in Tungusic-, Mongolic-, and Turkic-speaking populations.
Aim: To investigate the formation process of this unique distribution state.
