Purpose:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2197076 and rs2241883 in fatty acid-binding protein 1 (FABP1) gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
Methods:
The two alleles rs2197076 and rs2241883 in FABP1 gene in 221 PCOS women and 198 normal women were amplified and sequenced. Allele frequency comparison was performed between the PCOS and control groups, and genotype-phenotype correlation analysis was performed using dominant and recessive models to assess the association of FABP1 and the main features of PCOS.
Results:
Allele frequency analyses showed a strong association of SNPs rs2197076 and rs2241883 of FABP1 gene with PCOS (P < 0.001). The additive, dominant, and recessive genotype model analyses further supported this association even after adjusting for age and body mass index (BMI). The minor allele frequency (MAF) of rs2241883 in obese PCOS women was less than that in obese control women. Further genotype-phenotype correlation analysis showed that SNP rs2197076 had a stronger association with the main features of PCOS than SNP rs2241883.
Conclusion:
In the association of SNPs in FABP1 gene with PCOS, rs2197076 was more closely associated with its main features than rs2241883 and seemed to play a more important role in the pathogenesis of PCOS.
