Estudio de asociación del polimorfismo -866 G/A del gen UCP2 con obesidad en una población de Valledupar

Abstract

La obesidad es una enfermedad multifactorial que se relaciona con estilos de vida y factores medioambientales y geneticos. Uno de los genes candidatos de la obesidad es el UCP2. Su polimorfismo -866G/A se ha asociado con obesidad en algunas poblaciones. Sin embargo, se han reportado resultados contradictorios alrededor del mundo, lo cual indica la necesidad de nuevas investigaciones al respecto. Objetivo: Analizar el polimorfismo -866G/A del gen UCP2 asociado con obesidad en adultos de la ciudad de Valledupar. Materiales y metodos: Se estudiaron 103 individuos con sobrepeso u obesidad y 100 con normopeso. El polimorfismo de UCP2 -866G/A fue determinado por PCR-RFLP. Se evaluaron tambien medidas antropometricas, perfil de lipoproteinas y glucemia basal. Resultados: Se observo que el alelo mutado y su genotipo homocigoto fueron significativamente mas frecuentes en pacientes con IMC > a 25 kg/m2. [A: OR= 2,9 (IC 95%= 1,765-4,751) y AA: OR=5,8 (IC 95%= 1,264-2,745)]. No se encontraron diferencias significativas entre UCP2 -866G/A y las variables clinicas estudiadas en individuos obesos. Sin embargo, se observa que los sujetos con alelos y genotipos mutados presentaron cifras mas elevadas de trigliceridos, glucemia e ICC y menor promedio de cHDL. Conclusiones: la mutacion -866G/A del gen UCP2 se asocia a obesidad en la poblacion estudiada y aunque no parece influir en las medidas antropometricas y bioquimicas en sujetos obesos, podria estar relacionado con aumento de ICC, glucosa y trigliceridos y disminucion de cHDL.
