The amount of weight loss attained after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery follows a wide and normal distribution, and recent evidence indicates that this weight loss is due to physiological, rather than mechanical, mechanisms. To identify potential genetic factors associated with weight loss after RYGB, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 693 individuals undergoing RYGB and then replicated this analysis in an independent population of 327 individuals undergoing RYGB. We found that a 15q26.1 locus near ST8SIA2 and SLCO3A1 was significantly associated with weight loss after RYGB. Expression of ST8SIA2 in omental fat of these individuals at baseline was significantly associated with weight loss after RYGB. Gene expression analysis in RYGB and weight-matched, sham-operated (WMS) mice revealed that expression of St8sia2 and Slco3a1 was significantly altered in metabolically active tissues in RYGB-treated compared to WMS mice. These findings provide strong evidence for specific genetic influences on weight loss after RYGB and underscore the biological nature of the response to RYGB.
接受 Roux-en-Y 胃旁路(RYGB)手术后的减重量呈宽正态分布,最近的证据表明这种减重是由于生理而非机械机制所致。为了确定与 RYGB 术后减重相关的潜在遗传因素,我们对 693 名接受 RYGB 的个体进行了全基因组关联研究(GWAS),然后在接受 RYGB 的 327 名独立个体中复制了该分析。我们发现,ST8SIA2 和 SLCO3A1 附近的 15q26.1 位点与 RYGB 后的减重显著相关。这些个体基线时网膜脂肪中 ST8SIA2 的表达与 RYGB 后的减重显著相关。RYGB 和体重匹配的假手术(WMS)小鼠的基因表达分析表明,与 WMS 小鼠相比,RYGB 治疗的代谢活跃组织中 St8sia2 和 Slco3a1 的表达显著改变。这些发现为 RYGB 后体重减轻的特定遗传影响提供了强有力的证据,并强调了对 RYGB 反应的生物学性质。
