Genetic markers of obesity play a crucial role in understanding the pathogenesis of this multifactorial disease, which remains one of the major public health challenges of the 21st century. In recent years, numerous genetic variants associated with obesity have been identified thanks to the development of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Among the most studied genes are FTO, MC4R, TMEM18, NEGR1, and BDNF. Polymorphisms in these genes are linked to various aspects of appetite regulation, metabolism, and fat tissue accumulation.
It is important to note that the integration of data from genome-wide association studies, epigenetic research, and the analysis of external factors represents a promising direction for the development of personalized strategies for the prevention and treatment of obesity. This comprehensive approach will not only enhance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying obesity but also lead to more effective and targeted therapeutic methods that take into account the individual genetic and epigenetic characteristics of patients.
