Several studies to explain the role of genetics in the pathogenesis of obesity have been performed. The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between +45T>G single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) and childhood obesity. Material and Method: 268 obese and 185 healthy (control) children and adolescents aged 6-17 years were enrolled. Laboratory tests including fasting glucose, insulin level, and lipid profile were drawn only from the obese participants. The +45T>G SNP in adiponectin gene was analyzed from the members of both groups by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) method. Results: The genotype frequencies of the adiponectin gene for +45 locus in exon 2 were 77.9%, 19.1%, and 3% in obese subjects and 72.1%, 23.5%, and 4.4% in the control group for TT, TG, and GG respectively (p=0.357), with the allelic frequency of the G allele 12.5% in obese subjects and 16.1% in controls (p=0.129). When we compared different adiponectin genotypes, there wasn’t any significant difference in frequencies of TT genotype (wild type) and non-TT (TG+GG) genotypes between the obese and control groups (p=0.162). Also, comparing GG genotype and non-GG (TG+TT) genotypes revealed no significant difference between the obese and control groups (p=0.439). Among obese subjects there were no significant relationships between different genotypes and clinical characteristics such as presence of hypertriglyceridemia, low high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C), hypertension, and insulin resistance. Discussion: In conclusion, in the present study, in a well-described obese and a control group of pediatric patients, we observed a lack of association between the +45T>G SNP and childhood obesity and its traits.
