Mutations in CD36 / fatty acid translocase (FAT) gene are responsible for insulin resistance in the rat but contribution to human Type 2 diabetes is unknown. A nominal evidence for linkage of familial T2D at the CD36 locus led us to identify a rare nonsense mutation c.1079T>G (p.L360X) in one Caucasian pedigree presenting with autosomal dominant diabetes. Adiponectin levels, as marker of insulin sensitivity, were found to be significantly lower in the p.L360X variant carriers compared to homozygous for wild type CD36. Furthermore, expression studies of the truncated protein showed a defective binding of acetylated-LDL. Thus, our findings suggest a possible role for CD36 in the pathogenesis of T2D associated with reduced insulin sensitivity.

Meyre D, Boutin P, Froguel P, 2004, Obesity: Genetics, behavior or a combination of both, Current Medicinal Chemistry: Immunology, Endocrine and Metabolic Agents, Vol: 4, Pages: 105-111, ISSN: 1568-0134

During the past two decades, the prevalence of obesity has greatly risen worldwide. These changes have occurred among genetically stable populations, indicating that modifications of behavioral factors like dietary and physical activity must underlie the recent obesity epidemic. However, genetic factors undoubtedly have a great effect on individual predisposition, since 25 to 80 percent of the variation in body-mass index is heritable. Eating behavior, disordered eating behaviors and food preferences are in part heritable, and a family history of overeating is more frequent in obese individuals with binge-eating disorder than in the general population. The identification of genes causing both syndromic (Prader Willi) and rare monogenic (leptin/melanocortin pathways) forms of obesity, highlight the importance of genetic determinants in obesity. The common forms of obesity are, however, polygenic, and could modestly modulate behavior component. The recent identification of GAD2 gene variations modulating food intake and increasing the risk for severe obesity highlights the role of the GABA pathway in eating behavior. Other pathways involved in behavior, including Dopamine, serotonin and cannabinoid pathways are candidate for obese susceptibility genes. Modest individual effects of already identified at risk variants for abnormal food intake, may be amplified by gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. © 2004 Bentham Science Publishers Ltd.

Genome-wide scanning is a powerful tool to identify susceptible chromosome loci, however, individual chromosomal regions still have many candidate genes. Although cDNA microarray analysis provides valuable information for identifying genes involved in pathogenesis, expression levels of many genes are changed. A novel approach for identification of therapeutic targets is the combination of genome-wide scanning and the use of DNA chips, as shown in Fig. (1). Using DNA chips, we screened for secreted molecules, the expressions of which were changed in adipose tissues from mice rendered insulin resistance. Decreased expression of one of these molecules, adiponectin/Acrp30, correlates strongly with insulin resistance. Interestingly, recent genome-wide scans have mapped a susceptibility locus for type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome to chromosome 3q27, where adiponectin gene is located. Decreasing serum adiponectin levels are associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes. Interestingly, adiponectin was decreased in insulin resistant rodent models both of obesity and lipoatrophy, and replenishment of adiponectin ameliorated their insulin resistance. Moreover, adiponectin transgenic mice ameliorated insulin resistance and diabetes Adiponectin knockout mice showed insulin resistance and glucose intolerance. In muscle and liver, adiponectin activated AMP kinase and PPARalpha pathways thereby increasing beta-oxidation of lipids, leading to decreased TG content, which ameliorated insulin resistance under a high-fat diet. Despite similar plasma glucose and lipid levels on an apoE deficient background, adiponectin transgenic apoE deficient mice showed amelioration of atherosclerosis, which was associated with decreased expressions of class A scavenger receptor and tumor necrosis factor alpha. Finally, cDNA encoding adiponectin receptors (AdipoR1 and R2) have been identified by expression cloning, which facilitates the understanding of molecular mechanisms of adiponectin ac
