Lack of Association Between 11 Gene Polymorphisms on Weight Loss One Year After Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery in Women

Survey on Interaction Between Nutrient Status and Selected Polymorphisms in Association with Weight Loss of Patients with Severe Obesity Underwent Bariatric Surgery

BACKGROUND

There is little information about the effect of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and nutritional status and weight loss after bariatric surgery. This study investigated the interactive effect of eight obesity-related SNPs and nutritional status on weight loss after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB).

METHOD

This is a case-control study. After 1-year follow-up, the patients who underwent RYGB were dividing into two groups. The case group consisted of patients who lost more than 50% of their excess body weight (EBW%) 1 year after the surgery. The control group included patients who lost < 50% of EBW at same time frame. Then, the relationship between eight SNPs related to UCP2, FTO, LEPR, GHRL, and NPY genes with weight loss were checked.

RESULTS

In this study, 160 patients were recruited. The median of age for case and control group were 43 and 42 respectively. The presence of mutant variant NPYrs16147 had a significant relationship in terms of weight loss between the two groups (P > 0.05). In dominant model, two SNPs, UCP2 rs659366 and UCP2 rs660339, showed protective effect of the vitamin D deficiency.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, the presence mutant variant of NPYrs16147 is directly related to the incidence of weight loss greater than 50% of EBW. However, it is apparent individual behavioral, dietary, and other factors may have more influence on weight loss among patients underwent RYGB.

The Influence of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms On Body Weight Trajectory After Bariatric Surgery: A Systematic Review

PURPOSE OF REVIEW

To conduct a systematic review to summarize the results of studies on this subject and to identify whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are good prognostic markers for body weight trajectory after bariatric surgery.

RECENT FINDINGS

A considerable number of events can influence the body weight trajectory after bariatric surgery, and in the post-genomic era, genetic factors have been explored. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42021240903). SNPs positively associated with poor weight loss after bariatric surgery were rs17702901, rs9939609, rs1360780, rs1126535, rs1137101, rs17782313, rs490683, and rs659366. Alternatively, SNPs rs2229616, rs5282087, rs490683, rs9819506, rs4771122, rs9939609, rs4846567, rs9930506, rs3813929, rs738409, rs696217, rs660339, rs659366, rs6265, rs1801260, and rs2419621 predicted a higher weight loss after bariatric surgery. Six studies performed with a genetic risk score (GRS) model presented significant associations between GRS and outcomes following bariatric surgery. This systematic review shows that, different SNPs and genetic models could be good predictors for body weight trajectory after bariatric surgery. Based on the results of the selected studies for this Systematic Review is possible to select SNPs and metabolic pathways of interest for the GRS construction to predict the outcome of bariatric surgery to be applied in future studies.
