Popis: Genome-wide association and linkage studies have identified multiple susceptibility loci for obesity.We hypothesized that such loci may affect weight loss and comorbidity amelioration outcomes following a gastric-bypass.A total of 200 obese patients who underwent a gastric bypass surgery were genotyped for single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in insulin induced gene 2 (INSIG2) and melanocortin 4 receptor (MC4R) obesity genes.After a follow-up of 18 month, the patients (192) data of weight excess loss (72%) and co-morbidities (Hypertension -62- and Diabetes -39-) were analyzed and compared. 26 Patients with SNP were found (9 MC4R and 17 INSIG2). No significant differences in weight excess loss and amelioration of comorbidities were revealed.The data suggest no influence of weight excess loss and amelioration of co-morbidities after gastric-bypass by genetic susceptibility.
