肥胖是一种遗传性特征,导致全球大量发病率和死亡率。在这里,我们总结了过去十年的遗传和表观遗传学研究的发现,这些研究的重点是揭示肥胖的基础。目前已知有140多个遗传区域影响肥胖特征。一般肥胖(以身体质量指数衡量)和腹部肥胖(以腰臀比衡量)的遗传学有着不同的生物学背景。与一般性肥胖相关的基因表达在神经系统中富集。相反,与腹部肥胖相关的基因在脂肪组织中起作用。最近基于群体的表观遗传分析强调了其他不同的位点。我们讨论了相关的遗传变异如何导致理解因果机制,并在表观遗传分析中解开反向因果关系。人口基因组学的发现正在确定新的疾病标记和潜在的新型药物靶点,以更好地定义和对抗肥胖及相关疾病。
Obesity is a heritable trait that contributes to substantial global morbidity and mortality. Here, we summarize findings from the past decade of genetic and epigenetic research focused on unravelling the underpinnings of adiposity. More than 140 genetic regions now are known to influence adiposity traits. The genetics of general adiposity, as measured by body mass index, and that of abdominal obesity, as measured by waist-to-hip ratio, have distinct biological backgrounds. Gene expression associated with general adiposity is enriched in the nervous system. In contrast, genes associated with abdominal adiposity function in adipose tissue. Recent population-based epigenetic analyses have highlighted additional distinct loci. We discuss how associated genetic variants can lead to understanding causal mechanisms, and to disentangling reverse causation in epigenetic analyses. Discoveries emerging from population genomics are identifying new disease markers and potential novel drug targets to better define and combat obesity and related diseases.
