The genetics of obesity - pathogenetic, clinical and diagnostic aspects
Due to its prevalence and its health-related, economic and social consequences, childhood and adult obesity is a complex, medical and civilizational problem, which has been on the increase in the last decade. The results of multi-center investigations reveal that genetic factors play an essential role in the etiopathogenesis of obesity, particularly in the case of extreme cases with very early onset. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is one of the most frequently used indicators of obesity and shows a strong genetic component with a 40-70% degree of heritability. The three types of genetically conditioned obesity are: (1) isolated (nonsyndromic) monogenic obesity, (2) syndromic monogenic obesity associated with dysmorphic features and/or congenital defects, caused by mutations in specific gene(s), (3) chromosomal aberrations, including submicroscopic changes. The most prevalent common (complex) obesity is linked to the presence of various changes in different genomic loci, which are subject to interactions and modifications by environmental (ethnic, dietary, lifestyle, bacterial flora, oxidative stress), as well as epigenetic (i.e., associated with DNA methylation, histone modification) and epistatic (gene-gene interaction) factors. Recent investigations using the modern methods of genome-wide association studies (GWAS), bioinformatics and proteomics, have made it possible to elucidate 8 key genes among the 97 genes most likely to play significant roles in the metabolic effects of obesity. The results of investigations on the pathogenesis of complex obesity do not as yet clarify the potential pathogenic significance of these genomic changes in humans. This article discusses the neuro-endocrinological regulation of the sensation of hunger and thirst, the clinical consequences of mutations in genes associated with the melanocortin pathway, and the features of the most common obesity syndromes, including syndromes conditioned by genomic imprinting. A diagnostic algorithm for cases of suspected syndromic obesity is proposed.
