Abstract

Background: α-Adrenergic receptor 2A (ADRA2A) and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) genes have been variably associated with Obesity and its related phenotypes in different populations worldwide. Objectives: This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association of Adrenergic receptor α 2A (ADRA2A) rs553668 and angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) I/D Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) with Obesity traits (body mass index-BMI; waist-hip ratio-WHR; total body fat percentage-TBF) in a Malaysian population. Materials and Methods: Demographic and clinical variables were initially collected from 230 subjects via convenience sampling among residents and workers in Setapak, Malaysia, but in the end only 214 multi-ethnic Malaysians (99 males; 45 Malays, 116 ethnic Chinese, and 53 ethnic Indians) were available for statistical analysis. Genotyping was performed by polymerase chain reaction using DNA extracted from mouthwash samples. Results: The overall minor allele frequencies (MAFs) for ADRA2A rs553668 and ACE I/D were 0. 55 and 0. 56, respectively. Allele distribution of ACE I/D was significantly associated with ethnicity and WHR class. Logistic regression analysis showed that subjects with the ACE II genotype and I allele were, respectively, 2. 15 and 1. 55 times more likely to be centrally obese, but when adjusted for age and ethnicity, this association was abolished. Covariate analysis controlling for age, gender, and ethnicity also showed similar results, where subjects carrying the II genotype or I allele did not have significantly higher WHR. Combinatory genotype and allele analysis for ADRA2A rs553668 and ACE I/D showed that subjects with both ADRA2A rs553668 GG and ACE I/D II genotypes had significant lowest WHR compared to other genotype combinations. Conclusions: The ACE II genotype might be a protective factor against central adiposity risk among the Malaysian population when in combination with the ADRA2A rs553668 GG genotype.
