Association study of AMP-activated protein kinase subunit genes in polycystic ovary syndrome

Abstract: Objective: To examine the genes for AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) subunits a2 (PRKAA2) and g3 (PRKAG3) as candidates for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and its component traits. Design and methods: A total of 287 white PCOS women were recruited from the reproductive endocrinology clinic at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and 187 white control subjects were recruited from the surrounding community. Seven PRKAA2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and four PRKAG3 SNPs were genotyped in PCOS ca… Show more

“…2, A--D). Stimulatory conditions have been well documented to promote allosteric associations between these subunits (65)(66)(67), and this work indicates that the inherent function of the natural UBA domain may be to regulate SNF1 kinase activation by restraining ␣-␥ associations. The mechanism underlying this modulation of association remains to be determined, yet a glucose-responsive association of a peripheral protein(s) with the hydrophobic face of the UBA domain may introduce steric hindrance between the ␣-␥ subunits, thereby preventing full activation.…”

“…However, variants in PRKAA2 genes were not associated with polycystic ovary syndrome. 24 Campa et al 26 found no statistically significant correlation between breast cancer risk and SNPs in PRKAA2 genes in the European Prospective Investigation on Cancer.…”

“…The current literature on PRKAA2 and diseases mainly includes diabetes-related studies. 22,23 Other studies on AMPK polymorphisms have mainly focused on cancer and polycystic ovary syndrome, [24][25][26] and no studies related to PHN have been reported. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between PRKAA2 and PHN in the southwestern Chinese Han population.…”

“…Type II diabetes incidence was also associated with variation in PRKAG2 (32). Finally, carrying one or both minor alleles of rs692243 in PRKAG3 was nominally associated with increased risk of polycystic ovary syndrome, but this association did not stay significant after correction for multiple comparisons (33). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first association study exploring variation in AMPK and NHL risk.…”
