We aimed to clarify the relationship between serum amylase activity and the CNV of AMY1/2A/2B with the occurrence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Chinese adults.Patients and Methods: Anthropometry, metabolic risk factors, and serum amylase activity were assessed in 560 subjects (260 MetS patients; 300 healthy controls). AMY1/2A/2B CNs were evaluated using the highly sensitive droplet digital PCR.Results: The serum total, pancreatic, and salivary amylase activity, but not the AMY1/2A/2B CNs, was significantly lower in MetS patients than that in the control subjects. Patients < 45 y had a lower AMY1 CN, compared to that in healthy controls. Low serum amylase activity was significantly associated with high MetS prevalence (p < 0.001). In the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, serum amylase activity was a significant diagnostic indicator for MetS. The diagnostic value of total amylase was second only to that of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase; it was higher than that of alanine aminotransferase and uric acid.Conclusion: Low serum amylase activity was significantly associated with increased risk of MetS in Chinese adults. Therefore, amylase could be a potential biomarker for predicting MetS.Keywords: amylase, copy number variation, metabolic disorders, biomarker, Chinese populationZhan FChen JYan HWang SZhao MZhang SLan XMaekawa MDove Medical Pressarticleamylasecopy number variationmetabolic disordersbiomarkerchinese populationSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4705-4714 (2021)
