Childhood obesity is a global epidemic, which leads to the increasing number of studies on genetic locations associated with obesity-related traits. Polymorphisms of insulin (INS) gene have been shown to be associated with obesity-related phenotypes in Europeans Obesiti kanak-kanak merupakan epidemik di seluruh dunia dan telah menyebabkan pertambahan kajian mengenai lokasi gen berkaitan dengan ciri-ciri obesiti. Polimorfisme gen insulin (INS) telah dikaitkan dengan fenotip obesiti dalam kalangan orang Eropah manakala gen reseptor insulin (INSR) berhubung kait dengan regulasi tenaga. Oleh itu, kajian ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji hubungan antara polimorfisme gen INS (rs689) dan gen INSR (rs3745551) dengan risiko obesiti kanak-kanak dalam populasi Melayu. Kanak-kanak yang berumur 6-12 tahun dan mempunyai berat badan normal (528 orang) dan kanak-kanak yang mempunyai berat badan berlebihan atau obes (557 orang) digenotip dengan menggunakan Sequenom iPLEX® Gold yang bersemi-automasi. Indeks jisim badan dikira daripada ukuran berat badan dan ketinggian. Distribusi genotip rs689 (T/T: 0.006, A/T: 0.159 and A/A: 0.835) dan rs3745551 (G/G: 0.054, A/G: 0.378 and A/A: 0.568)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
