Abstract
BACKGROUND: An earlier meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies in Asian populations detected five novel body mass index-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Q member 1 (KCNQ1) (rs2237892), ALDH2/MYL2 (rs671, rs12229654), ITIH4 (rs2535633), and NT5C2 (rs11191580). Whether these SNPs take effect in early life, for example, affect infant rapid weight gain (RWG), is unclear. METHODS: We obtained genomic DNA from 460 term infants with normal birth weight. RWG was defined as the change of weight-for-age standardized Z-score, calculated according to the Children Growth Standard released by the World Health Organization, from birth to 3 months of age >0.67. Using genetic models, associations between the candidate SNPs and infant RWG were examined, along with the interaction between the SNPs and the potential risk factors. RESULTS: RWG was presented in 225 of 460 infants. SNP rs2535633 and rs2237892 were associated with the risk of RWG. Both additive and multiplicative interaction effects were found between infant delivery mode and rs2237892. The negative association between the rs2237892 T allele and infant RWG was only observed in vaginally delivered infants. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity-related loci rs2535633 and rs2237892 are associated with infant RWG in the first 3 months of infancy. The relationship between rs2237892 and infant RGW might be moderated by cesarean delivery. IMPACT: Genetic predisposition is an essential aspect to understand infant weight gain. Obesity-related SNPs, rs2535633 and rs2237892, are associated with RWG in very early years of life. The negative association between rs2237892 T allele and RWG is only observed in infants delivered vaginally instead of cesarean section.
