β3-Adrenergic receptor Trp64Arg polymorphism and increased body mass index in sleep apnoea

Abstract: Obesity is an important risk factor for obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS), insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease. The substitution of tryptophan 64 with arginine (Trp64Arg) polymorphism (Arg variant) of the b 3 -adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) has been associated with obesity. In this study, the prevalence of the Trp64Arg ADRB3 polymorphism in a large group of patients with OSAS and its association with body mass index (BMI), insulin resistance and hypertension were evaluated.ADRB3 genotype was dete… Show more

“…This is in accordance with previously reported data from other groups (3,31). Although genetic variants that predispose obesity facilitate the development of OSAS, polymorphisms of several obesity-related genes, including ß 3 -adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) (32), Leptin, and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes (33), are not suggested to associate with OSAS. In the present study, we found that -572G/C polymorphism of IL-6 gene is associated with OSAS susceptibility and severity of sleep-disordered breathing in non-obese subjects, suggested that SNP genotyping of IL-6 gene is a potential strategy for detecting the risk of breathing disordered diseases in non-obese individuals.…”

Notably, the polymorphisms of the ADRB3 gene favor the development of obesity in patients who already suffer OSAS (32). However, no polymorphisms of IL-6 related to obesity, either in OSAS patients or healthy controls, were found in our investigation.…”

“…In humans, the beta-3 adrenergic receptor is predominantly expressed in visceral adipose tissue (Krief et al, 1993). Notably, the Arg allele of this SNP has been linked with increased BMI, adiposity and obesity in children (Arashiro et al, 2003;Endo et al, 2000;Erhardt et al, 2005;Ochoa et al, 2004;Park et al, 2005) supporting the evidence in adults Pierola et al, 2007), and the increased risk for obesity at this ADRB3 loci may be driven partly by an interaction effect of the PPARG SNP Pro12Ala Hsueh et al, 2001;Ochoa et al, 2004). Other studies in young children between the ages 4-10 years and in adolescents report no signifi cant effects of Trp64Arg variants on BMI, weight or height when this variant is examined in isolation (Cecil et al, 2007;Haworth et al, 2008a;Hinney et al, 1997;Kurokawa et al, 2003).…”

“…The BMI of the OSAS group was higher when compared with the individuals in the control group. The BMI results for OSAS patients showed similarity with those of other polymorphism studies (Barceló et al, 2001;Rubinsztajn et al, 2004;Sakai et al, 2005;Piérola et al, 2007).…”
