Genetics of obesity
 The majority is multifactorial
 Concordance in monozygotic twins: 0.7-0.9
 In dizygotic twins: 0.35-0.45
 λs = 3.5
 Heritability rate of fat mass and fat
distribution: 40-70%
 Food preference, activity etc.
 Most associated genes
expressed in CNS
Aim of the study
 What SNPs can contribute to the susceptibility to
obesity in the Hungarian population?
 Candidate gene association study.
Patients
1337 Hungarian adults (873 women
and 464 men)
838 obese (BMI>30)
500 controls (BMI<25)

Function
Adiponectin modulates glucose regulation and
fatty acid catabolism.
Delay digestion during fight-or-flight response
Increases appetite and decreases metabolism and
energy expenditure
Fat mass and obesity associated
Selection of
55 candidate
genes for
obesity
increases food intake and increases fat mass
insulin induced gene 2
leptin levels reflect individual energy balance
involved in feeding behaviour, the regulation of
metabolism
increases food intake and decreases physical
activity
polypeptide hormone precursor giving rise to
peptides with roles in pain and energy
homeostasis
regulates fatty acid storage and glucose
metabolism.
In humans it appears to reduce appetite.
Tryptophan transporter in the brain
Suppressing appetite in the hypothalamus
generate heat by non-shivering thermogenesis
Some examples of
the selected
candidate genes
Selection of 120 SNPs in the candidate genes

Fat mass and obesity associated
Different results in men and women
 Only in women: ALOX5, ALOX5AP, ZFP90, ACE,
UCP3
 Only in men: HSD11B
 In both: FTO
Heritability is gender specific
 Girls whose mothers are classified as clinically obese
are significantly more likely obese in childhood, with a
similar relationship existing between obese fathers
and their sons.
 Trend does not exist between mothers and their sons
and fathers and their daughters
FTO = fat mass and obesity associated
OR = 3.0 (2.1-4.2) P<5x10-10!
OR = 0.33 (0.23-0.47)
 All obesity GWA identified FTO
 Exact function is not known
 Expressed in CNS (esp.: hippocampus, cerebellum and
hypothalamus)
 FTO mutant mice:
 reduced fat mass
 increased energy expenditure
 unchanged physical activity.
ALOX5 OR=1.5 (1.1-1.9);
OR = 0.43 (0.,25-0.74)
 Synthesis of leukotrienes from arachidonic
acid.
 Alox5 −/− mice had significantly increased
fat mass, plasma leptin levels and fasting
glucose levels, but lower fasting insulin
levels
IGF2
OR = 1.5 (1.1-2.2)
 This gene encodes a member of the insulin
family of polypeptide growth factors that is
involved in development and growth.
 It is an imprinted gene and is expressed
only from the paternally inherited allele.
 It is a candidate gene for eating disorders
Zfp90
OR = 1.72 (1.03-2.88)
 These preliminary data suggest that Zfp90 may
have an uncharacterized role in the regulation of
obesity traits.
 Mice with extra copies of ZFP90 had higher
overall fat levels than wild-type controls.
 ZFP90 could be antagonized to treat obesity
Next
 Bayesian Multilevel
Analysis (BMLA)
 BMLA enables the
analysis of relevance at
different abstraction
levels: model-based
pairwise relevance,
relevance of variable
sets, and interaction
models of relevant
variables.

Summary
 Genetic polymorphisms play an important role in the
susceptibility of obesity in the Hungarian
population.
 There are considerable differences between men
and women in the genetic background.
 Those genes and pathways associated with obesity
are potential targets for tailoring therapy for a
healthier body weight.
