Abstrakt:	Objectives: Genetic predisposition plays a role in the etiology of metabolic syndrome (MetS), an important health problem worldwide. Leptin (LEP), produced by adipose tissue, plays a crucial role in the development of MetS. In this study, we evaluated the effects of LEP and LEP receptor (LEPR) variants on clinical findings and risk of developing MetS in the Turkish population. Methods: A total of 320 patients were included in the study, of whom 150 were patients with MetS and 170 were healthy controls. DNA was extracted from blood samples. LEP rs7799039 and LEPR rs1137101 variants were genotyped using the polymerase chain reaction-based restriction fragment length polymorphism method. The genotype distributions of these variants and clinical and laboratory findings were compared. Results: The LEP rs7799039 GA and AA genotypes and A allele frequencies were higher in participants with MetS than in the control group. For LEP rs7799039, the genotype AA-GA was higher in males, and the GG genotype was higher in females. On analyzing the clinical outcomes associated with these variants, it was observed that individuals possessing LEP rs7799039 GA and AA genotypes displayed elevated levels of triglycerides. In addition, those with the AG-GG genotype of LEPR rs1137101 had lower mean hemoglobin levels. Conclusion: Our results showed that the LEP rs7799039 and LEPR rs1137101 variants may be associated with both the risk of MetS development and clinical findings. Among the various contributors to MetS, a genetic predisposition is commonly recognized as the primary cause. (© The Author(s) 2024.
