Obesity, a complex, multi-factor and heterogeneous condition, is thought to result from the interaction of environmental and genetic factors. Considering the result of adolescence obesity in adulthood, the role of genetic factors comes to the fore. Recently, many genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been conducted and many associated with adiposity have been identified. In adolescents, the strongest association with obesity has been found in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the gene. Besides , GWAS showed consistent effects between variants in , and obesity. However, these variants may not have similar effects for all ethnic groups. Although recently genetic factors are considered to contribute to obesity, relatively little is known about the specific related to obesity and the mechanisms by which they cause obesity.
肥胖是一种复杂的、多因素的、异质的疾病,被认为是由环境和遗传因素相互作用的结果。考虑到青春期肥胖对成年期的影响,遗传因素的作用就显得尤为重要。最近,进行了许多全基因组关联研究(GWAS),并发现了许多与肥胖相关的基因。在青少年中,与肥胖相关性最强的是基因中的单核苷酸多态性(SNP)。此外,GWAS 显示在基因中的变异与肥胖之间存在一致的影响。然而,这些变异对于所有种族群体的影响可能并不相同。尽管最近遗传因素被认为是导致肥胖的原因之一,但对于与肥胖相关的具体基因以及它们导致肥胖的机制,我们知之甚少。
