RT Journal Article T1 Combined Effect of Genetic Variants on Long-Term Weight Response after Bariatric Surgery A1 Torrego-Ellacuría, Macarena A1 Barabash Bustelo, Ana A1 Matía Martín, María Del Pilar A1 Sánchez Pernaute, Andrés A1 Torres García, Antonio José A1 Calle Pascual, Alfonso Luis A1 Rubio Herrera, Miguel Ángel AB The pathophysiology of body weight control involves complex interactions between hormonal, environmental, behavioral and genetic factors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of 13 genes encoding gastrointestinal peptides, their receptors or the proteins involved in their expression, with long-term weight response in a cohort of 375 patients undergoing bariatric surgery (BS). To evaluate weight response, we combined several variables to define specific response phenotypes six years after surgery. The study protocol was registered in ISRCTN (ID80961259). The analysis of the selected SNPs was performed via allelic discrimination using Taqman® probes (Applied Biosystems, Foster City, CA, USA). The genotype association study was performed using the SNPstat program, with comparisons adjusted for sex, age, initial body mass index, type 2 diabetes, hypertension diagnosis and the type of surgery. We identified eight genetic variants associated with the weight response to BS, independently of the presurgery patient profile and the type of surgical technique, from which we calculated the unweighted risk score (RS) for each phenotype. The highest scoring category in each RS was significantly associated with lower weight loss (p = 0.0001) and greater weight regain (p = 0.0012) at the end of the follow-up.
