PPARγ2 Pro12Ala Polymorphism is Associated in Children With Traits Related to Susceptibility to Type 2 Diabetes
Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Pharmacological activators of PPARγ are being used as a treatment of obesity related disorders such as dyslipidaemia and type 2 diabetes, but questions remain...

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a ligand-activated nuclear receptor that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. Pharmacological activators of PPARγ are being used as a treatment of obesity related disorders such as dyslipidaemia and type 2 diabetes, but questions remain open regarding the effects of PPARγ on traits related to the development of type 2 diabetes. In our study, we have analyzed the relationship of the common variant Pro12Ala in the human PPARγ2 gene with the presence of obesity and with insulin, HOMA and lipid profile in a representative sample of 6-to 8-year-old children free from the confounding factors associated with adults. We found that Ala12Ala genotype was significantly more frequent in females with obesity than in those without obesity, with Ala12Ala carriers having significantly higher weight and body mass index (BMI), however the association disappeared when adjusting by leptin concentrations. The Ala12Ala genotype was associated with significantly higher HDL-cholesterol and apoA-I levels in males but not in females, independently of BMI.
