Popis: The objective was to compare the impact of clinical and genetic factors on body mass index (BMI) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) without severe obesity. A total of 1,119 children with T1DM (aged 4–18 years) were qualified to take part in the study. All children were genotyped for variants ofFTO,MC4R,INSIG2,FASN,NPC1,PTER,SIRT1,MAF,IRT1, andCD36.Results.Variants ofFTOshowed significant association with BMI-SDS in the T1DM group. The main factors influencing BMI-SDS in children with T1DM included female gender (P=0.0003), poor metabolic control (P=0.0001), and carriage of the A allele of theFTOrs9939609 gene (P=0.02).Conclusion.Our research indicates, when assessing, the risk of overweight and obesity carriage of the A allele in the rs9939609 site of theFTOgene adds to that of female gender and poor metabolic control. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01279161).
