Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influence of leptin receptor (LEPR) gene K109R polymorphism on the risk of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its interaction with PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism in the Han Chinese population in Qingdao,China.Methods Blood samples were collected from 296 NAFLD patients and 321 healthy controls,and the genotypes of these patients were determined by PCR and genotyping.Related statistical analyses were performed to compare genotypes,alleles,and clinical data between the two groups.Generalized multifactor dimensionality reduction (GMDR) was used to investigate the interaction between LEPR K109R and PNPLA3 I148M genes.Results The distribution of LEPR K109R genotypes and alleles showed no significant differences between the NAFLD group and the control group (P > 0.05).PNPLA3 I148M gene polymorphisms were closely associated with the risk of NAFLD,and the risk of NAFLD in G mutant gene carriers was 2.07 times that in patients who did not carry this gene (OR =2.07,95% CI 1.423-3.013,P < 0.001).The joint action of LEPR K 109R and PNPLA3 I 148M significantly increased the risk of NAFL (OR =3.393,95% CI 1.856-6.201,P < 0.001).Conclusion In the Han Chinese population in Qingdao,LEPR K109R gene polymorphism is not associated with the risk of NAFLD,but its interaction with PNPLA3 I148M polymorphism can significantly increase the risk of NAFLD.
