About this study

Official title: FTO rs9939609 and PPARy rs1801282 Polymorphisms in Mexican Adolescents With Overweight and Obesity at High Risk for Developing Diabetes

Background and Aims: The presence of the FTO rs9939609 and PPARy rs1801282 polymorphisms suggests changes in energy metabolism; this variation may be responsible for the development of various diseases including obesity. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of these polymorphisms in Mexican adolescents with overweight and obesity at high risk for developing diabetes. Methods and Results: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study, where 71 healthy adolescents (average age of 16) were included. Anthropometric measurements, Body mass index, as well as the determination of glucose, insulin and HOMA index were calculated from all the patients. The FTO rs9939609 and PPARy rs1801282 polymorphisms were determined by real-time PCR.

Read the detailed description

Study Population Students without known disease, between 14 and 18 years from the "Lic. Adolfo Lopez Mateos" Preparatory school of the Autonomous University of the State of Mexico (UAEMex), were invited to participate.

Anthropometry The body mass index (BMI) was calculated as weight (kg) divided by height (m) squared with conventional stadiometer; dividing the results in normal, overweight and obesity according to the classification of the World Health Organization (WHO), specifically for adolescents by gender and age.

Laboratory 3 mL of venous blood (Vacutainer tubes) were taken in fasting. The concentration of glucose, total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol and triglycerides were determined by enzymatic methods (Randox Laboratories Ltd, County Antrim, UK); whereas leptin and adiponectin concentrations were determined by the immunosorbent assay (ELISA) (Invitrogen MR Frederyck MD USA). A sample remained frozen at -70°C (900 series Thermo Scientific) until DNA extraction.

Genotyping DNA extraction was performed in the Magna Pure LC 2.0 Instrument (Roche, Germany) using the MagNA Pure LC DNA Isolation Kit 1 (Roche, Germany). After extraction, the DNA was quantified using a NanoPhotometer (Implen GmbH, Germany), reporting concentration (μg/ml) and purity (260/280 absorbance). Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Life express thermal cycler (Bioer, China). The primers and conditions for each polymorphism are listed in Table 1.

The oligonucleotides were designed using the Primer Quest web tool (Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc., CA, USA) and synthesized at the Synthesis and DNA Sequencing Unit of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) Institute of Biotechnology (Cuernavaca, Morelos, Mexico). A search was performed in BLAST to verify the correct hybridization. The final products were visualized in 2% agarose gels, stained with ethidium bromide, and visualized under an UV transilluminator (Gel Logic 212 Pro, Carestream, USA). To confirm the detection of polymorphisms sequencing was performed at the National Institute of Genomic Medicine (INMEGEN), Mexico City.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance, run by Asociación Científica Latina A.C..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Prevalence of the FTO rs9939609 and PPARy rs1801282 polymorphisms. (time frame: up to 24 months.). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Sep 2016.
