“…The Met72 + genotype (GT or TT genotype, the protective genotypes of the present study) has been reported to be associated with the early onset of obesity in 3 studies [19][20][21]. However, it showed a protective effect against fat accumulation in a large population study of 3 cohorts [22] and type 2 diabetes in a recent meta-analysis [23]. According to a monozygotic twin study, the Met allele was more common among twin pairs with a low intra-pair BMI difference than those with a high intra-pair difference [24].…”

“…This may explain some publication bias in our meta-analysis, which may have affected the results of this meta-analysis in as far as those studies that had produced negative results might not have been published. Thirdly, type 2 diabetes is a complex disease which is affected by an interplay between many factors, including environmental exposure, life style, socioeconomic status and individual susceptibility [ 66 , 67 ]. It is possible that individual susceptibility in different ethnic groups may be modified by environmental exposure, life style and socioeconomic status in a different way.…”

“…This SNP results in an amino acid substitution (leucine to methionine) at residue 72 which is outside the mature ghrelin product of 28 amino acids. Although its function is yet to be established, this polymorphism has been associated with several medical and psychiatric conditions, including diabetes (Liao et al, 2013), development of obesity (Miraglia del Giudice et al, 2004) and depression (Nakashima et al, 2008). However, its potential involvement in alcohol use disorders (AUD) is less clear.…”
