SUMO4 Gene SNP rs237025 and the Synergistic Effect With Weight Management: A Study of Risk Factors and Interventions for MetS.

Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is widespread across the world. Gene targeted therapy and risk management are promising approaches for MetS intervention. gene rs237025 polymorphism is related to an increased risk of diabetes, therefore, it is considered a target for the gene polymorphism research of MetS. A case-control study was performed to study the interaction of rs237025 with MetS and the components of MetS. A 5-years follow-up survey was carried out to elucidate the crosstalk between rs237025 and weight management, and the synergistic effect on MetS. A total of 1,008 MetS patients and 1,047 controls were recruited in this research. By cross-section study, we find that rs237025 is an independent risk factor for increased Waist Circumference (WC), elevated Triglyceride (TG), elevated Fasting Plasma Glucose (FPG), and MetS. Cross-over analysis identifies the interaction of rs237025 and weight management as a risk factor for MetS, the synergistic effects of rs237025 and weight management are negative to WC, TG, and High-density Lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-c). gene rs237025 is related to increased risk of MetS, weight management is essential to MetS intervention, especially for patients with rs237025 polymorphism.
