Background: The ADIPOQ gene encodes a fat-derived protein hormone with a preponderant role in the homeostasis of glucose and fatty acids. However, previous association studies between ADIPOQ genetic variants and metabolic disorders have shown controversial results. In this study, we evaluated the effect of the ADIPOQ-rs2241766 polymorphism on diverse biochemical parameters (i.e., insulin resistance, atherogenic index, overweight and obesity) in an adolescent population from Mexico.
Methods: A cross-sectional study with convenience sampling was carried out in 356 adolescents from Northern Mexico. They were classified by sex and BMI-z score. The biochemical parameters were measured from blood samples using conventional methods. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).
Results: In low and normal weight groups, GG carriers had a significantly higher cholesterol level (P ≤ 0.05) than TG and TT carriers. However, there was no association between ADIPOQ-rs2241766 polymorphism and atherogenic index, overweight, or obesity.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that the cholesterol levels are under the influence of the ADIPOQ-rs2241766 polymorphism in Mexican adolescents and may explain how ADIPOQ variants increase the risk of developing metabolic disorders. Nevertheless, further studies are required to rule out the influence of other genetic and non-genetic factors.

Article Synopsis
- The study explored the relationship between specific genetic variations (SNPs) and obesity, involving 396 obese Mexican mestizo individuals and 142 individuals with normal weight.
- While most SNPs showed no significant link to obesity, the T allele of one SNP was associated with increased obesity risk.
- The research also found that genetic risk scores interact with waist-to-hip ratio, affecting LDL cholesterol levels, highlighting the importance of considering both genetics and body composition in addressing cardiovascular health.

Although prior studies have shown that adiponectin synthesis is genetically determined and that its levels influence susceptibility to T2D, the results in this regard have been inconsistent. This study aims, to investigate the relationship between adiponectin gene variants with the risk of developing T2D among Tunisian women and in relation to their BMI status. A cohort of 491 Tunisian T2D women and 373 non-diabetic subjects participated in the study.

Results: There is a significant difference in genotypic frequencies of the rs266729, rs2241766, and rs1501299 SNPs and allele frequencies ( < 0.05) between the MetS patients and non-MetS group. MetS patients had a significantly higher serum triglycerides (TG), total cholesterol (TC), and low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) in the GG genotype of rs2241766 ( < 0.
