The rs1466113 Polymorphism in the Somatostatin Receptor 2 Gene Is Associated with Obesity and Food Intake in a Mediterranean Population

Abstract: Background: A genome-wide association study identified rs1466113 (G>C) in the somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) gene as one of the polymorphisms most significantly associated with body mass index (BMI). As replication is required, we examined the association between this polymorphism and anthropometric variables and food intake in a Mediterranean population. Methods: We studied 945 high cardiovascular-risk subjects (340 men and 605 women) aged 67 ± 6 years, participating in the PREDIMED-Valencia Study. Demograph… Show more

“…Currently, the importance of nutrigenomics and personalised diets based on genetics is gaining attention ( 31 ) . Therefore, a number of studies have analysed the potential modulation of different phenotypes by nutrient compounds ( 32 , 33 ) . However, the current paradigm is to study the overall dietary pattern, instead of providing a simple assessment of isolated nutrients, because of the synergistic or antagonistic effects of food items and nutrients ( 34 ) .…”

“…Most importantly, increased mRNA expression of SSTR2 has also been described in a diet-induced rat model of obesity [221]. Furthermore, polymorphism in SSTR2 gene has been associated with obesity and food intake in the Mediterranean population [222]. Thus, consistent with these studies, it is believed that SSTR2 is the prominent receptor subtype that plays a crucial role in food and water intake in the dark phase and, importantly, opposes the anorexic response to the visceral stressor.…”
