Impact of m6A demethylase (ALKBH5, FTO) genetic polymorphism and expression levels on the development of pulmonary tuberculosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2022
ObjectiveThe m6A methylation was involved in the pathogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB), and our study aimed to reveal the potential association of m6A demethylase (ALKBH5, FTO) genes variation, expression levels and PTB.MethodsEight SNPs (ALKBH5 ...

Loss of FTO Antagonises Wnt Signaling and Leads to Developmental Defects Associated with Ciliopathies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Common intronic variants in the Human fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO) are found to be associated with an increased risk of obesity. Overexpression of FTO correlates with increased food intake and obesity, whilst loss-of-function results in ...

Interaction between FTO rs9939609 and the Native American-origin ABCA1 rs9282541 affects BMI in the admixed Mexican population

open access: yesBMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background The aim of this study was to explore whether interactions between FTO rs9939609 and ABCA1 rs9282541 affect BMI and waist circumference (WC), and could explain previously reported population differences in FTO-obesity and FTO-BMI associations ...

Association between Common Variation at the FTO Locus and Changes in Body Mass Index from Infancy to Late Childhood: The Complex Nature of Genetic Association through Growth and Development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
An age-dependent association between variation at the FTO locus and BMI in children has been suggested. We meta-analyzed associations between the FTO locus (rs9939609) and BMI in samples, aged from early infancy to 13 years, from 8 cohorts of European ...

Novel AlkB Dioxygenases – Alternative Models for In Silico and In Vivo Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: ALKBH proteins, the homologs of Escherichia coli AlkB dioxygenase, constitute a direct, single-protein repair system, protecting cellular DNA and RNA against the cytotoxic and mutagenic activity of alkylating agents, chemicals significantly ...

Associations between BMI and the FTO Gene Are Age Dependent: Results from the GINI and LISA Birth Cohort Studies up to Age 6 Years [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Objective: The association between polymorphisms in intron 1 of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) and obesity-related traits is one of the most robust associations reported for complex traits and is established both in adults and children ...

THE ROLE OF FAT MASS AND OBESITY-ASSOCIATED GENE POLYMORPHISM IN OBESE EGYPTIANS [PDF]

open access: yesAl-Azhar Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014
Introduction: Variations in fat mass and obesity associated (FTO) gene increased the risk of obesity in many European populations but with inconclusive results in other populations.

Assessment of the FTO gene polymorphisms inmale patients with metabolic syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesAdvances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine, 2018
Accumulating evidence indicates the potential involvement of the FTO gene polymorphisms in the etiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and related disorders.In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the FTO gene polymorphisms are associated with the risk of MetS and its simple components in a homogeneous sample of males.Anthropometric and ...

Association of the FTO gene with obesity and cancer in dogs

open access: yesJournal of Istanbul Veterinary Sciences, 2023
Nowadays, obesity is one of the most serious problems that significantly affect health in both human and animal populations. Fat mass and obesity-associated gene (FTO), increases the risk of obesity and other metabolic diseases such as cancer, with taking part in many complex molecular pathways.

Two New Loci for Body-Weight Regulation Identified in a Joint Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies for Early-Onset Extreme Obesity in French and German Study Groups [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Meta-analyses of population-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in adults have recently led to the detection of new genetic loci for obesity. Here we aimed to discover additional obesity loci in extremely obese children and adolescents.
