Association of Pro12Ala mutation in peroxisome proliferatoractivated receptor-γ2 with obesity in Chinese population
Objective To investigate the polymorphism of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-γ
2
(PPAR-γ
2
) and its association with obesity in Chinese population. Methods According to BMI
89 subjects who are in normal body weight range and 116 overweighted and obese subjects were included in this study. Their Pro12Ala mutation in the PPAR-γ
2
gene was detected by PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism. Results Allele frequency of Ala mutation of PPAR-γ
2
in overweighted and obese subjects (qA=11.64%) was significantly higher than that of normal body weight group (qA=5.06%
P0.05). Both in overweighted and obese subjects and normal body
weight subjects
these with genotype of PA (AA) had higher body mass index and plasma TG than those with the genotype of PP (P0.05). Conclusion Pro12Ala mutation in PPAR-γ
2
is associated with obesity. The people with the genotype of 12Ala are likely to be obese.
