Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Studies in adults identified the -803 G>A promoter polymorphism (rs3758539) in the RBP4 gene (RBP4) as a functional variant conferring an increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes.We genotyped this polymorphism in a cohort of 304 lean and 283 obese children to assess a potential association with early onset obesity and blood pressure and evaluated the effect of this SNP on metabolic parameters in a smaller subset.The allele frequency of -803 G>A was similar in obese compared to lean subjects (0.159 vs. 0.191, P=0.318). We did not detect an association of the variant with adiposity parameters nor with parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism or blood pressure in quantitative analyses.Our study revealed that the promoter polymorphism -803 G>A in RBP4 is not associated with BMI, metabolic parameters or blood pressure in Caucasian children.
