This study aimed to evaluate the association of AMY1 copy number variant (CNV) with obesity and inflammatory markers. Seventy-six participants aged between 6 and 10 years have participated, and the saliva samples were collected along with the anthropometric measurements.Methods: AMY1 copy number was analyzed by 3D digital PCR, and obesity-related biomarkers were performed with a Bioplex multiplex analyzer.Results: The mean AMY1 copy number was higher in normal weight (7.90 ± 0.38) compared to the overweight/obese group (6.20 ± 0.29). The association of AMY1 CNV with obesity and inflammatory markers showed significant negative correlation [CRP, β = − 0.238 (p < 0.05); resistin, β = − 0.25 (p < 0.05); MCP-1, β = − 0.304 (p < 0.01)] except for complement factor D, TNF α and IL-6. The anti-inflammatory cytokine, IL-10 reported a positive correlation with AMY1 copy number with a β = 0.268 (p < 0.05). The multivariable model adjusted with age and gender depicted a similar correlation with obesity markers.Conclusion: Our results report that AMY1 CNV is associated with obesity and inflammatory biomarkers in children’s saliva sample.Keywords: AMY1 copy numbers, obesity-related markers, inflammatory markers, childhood obesity, body mass indexSelvaraju VVenkatapoorna CMKBabu JRGeetha TDove Medical Pressarticleamy1 copy numbersobesity-related markersinflammatory markerschildhood obesitybody mass indexSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 13, Pp 1695-1701 (2020)
