Association of adiponectin and resistin gene polymorphisms in South Indian women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Abstract
Objectives To investigate whether genetic polymorphisms in the resistin and adiponectin genes cause a predisposition towards polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in a South Indian women population.Study design This case controlled study included samples from 484 study subjects (282 diagnosed with PCOS and 200 normal controls). The clinical and biochemical parameters of the samples assayed included BMI, LH, FSH, testosterone, fasting glucose, adiponectin and resistin levels. Three single nucleotide polymorphisms of the resistin (RETN) gene 420(C→G) (rs1862513), 299(G→A) (rs3745367), and 62(G→A) (rs3745368), and two single nucleotide polymorphisms of the adiponectin (ADPIOQ) gene 45(T→G) (rs2241766), and 276(G→T) (rs1501299), were analyzed using a PCR-RFLP method. Statistical analysis was carried out to determine the association of the genotypic and allelic variations with the syndrome and also analyze the influence of genotypic variations on adipokine levels.Results Serum levels of testosterone, LH, fasting glucose and resistin were found to be significantly increased in the PCOS patients when compared to controls, while adiponectin was found to be significantly lower (P<0.05). BMI was found to positively correlate with resistin levels and negatively correlate with adiponectin levels. A positive association was found between the RETN promoter 420 (C→G) SNP and the intron 2 299 (G→A) variant of the resistin gene, while no association was found between the ADPIOQ gene polymorphisms and PCOS. The 'GG' variant of the adiponectin 45 (T→G) variant showed a near-significant tendency towards a decreased concentration of adiponectin in PCOS patients.Conclusions Polymorphisms of the resistin gene could be assigned to play a role in increasing the risk of PCOS. However, the adiponectin gene does not seem to play a major role in PCOS susceptibility in a South Indian population. Serum adiponectin and resistin levels were more dependent on BMI rather than the presentation of PCOS. Obesity plays a major role in aggravating the hormonal disturbances found associated with PCOS.

Resistin gene 420 C→G and 299 G→A polymorphisms are positively associated with the incidence of PCOS in Indian women.
“A study of women in India shows that the resistin gene 420 C→G (promoter region) and 299 G→A polymorphisms are positively associated with the incidence of PCOS (with the heterozygous CG genotype, regarding the former polymorphism, being more common in PCOS patients than controls) (19).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
