The importance of platelet phosphofructokinase (PFKP) rs6602024 polymorphism in pathogenesis of obesity
Journal Title: Annales Academiae Medicae Silesiensis - Year 2017, Vol 71, Issue
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to demonstrate the potential relationship between overweight and obesity and the platelet phosphofructokinase (PFKP) rs6602024 polymorphism in patients reporting to a general practitioner at a primary care outpatient clinic. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study included a total of 438 patients from Southern Poland who reported to the general primary care outpatient clinic. PFKP rs6602024 polymorphism genotyping was conducted using fluorescence-labelled probes. The Statistica 8.0 program was used to calculate individual parameters. RESULTS: Certain metabolic disorders were shown in overweight and obese people, as well as in the whole group of overweight or obese subjects. The results were compared with the outcomes obtained from people who were not overweight or obese. There were no statistically significant differences in the distribution of PFKP rs6602024 polymorphism genotypes and alleles between the study and control group. The control group showed a statistically significant difference in allele distribution between men and women. Among women, a statistically significant difference was found in the distribution of G/A alleles between the controls and overweight people as well as those overweight and obese altogether. CONCLUSIONS: 1. Overweight and obesity are very common in people reporting to the primary care outpatient clinic. 2. The presence of PFKP rs6602024 polymorphism allele A in women is associated with an increased risk of being overweight and obese.
