description | Adiponectin, a hormone secreted by adipose tissue, plays a complex role in regulating metabolic homeostasis and has also garnered attention for its potential involvement in the pathogenesis of late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD). The objective of this study was to investigate the association of <i>ADIPOQ</i> variants with plasma adiponectin levels and LOAD risk in subjects from the Slovak Caucasian population. For this purpose, 385 LOAD patients and 533 controls without cognitive impairment were recruited and genotyped for a total of eighteen <i>ADIPOQ</i> single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Both single-locus and haplotype-based logistic regression analyses were employed to assess the association of SNPs with LOAD risk, while linear regression analysis was used to explore their influence on adiponectin levels in LOAD patients. <i>ADIPOQ</i> variants rs822395 and rs2036373 in intron 1 were found to significantly elevate total adiponectin levels after accounting for several potential confounders. Additional SNPs in the 5′ region and intron 1 exhibited a non-significant trend of association with adiponectin. However, none of the <i>ADIPOQ</i> SNPs showed an association with LOAD risk, neither in the whole-group analysis nor in subgroup analyses after stratification for sex or the <i>APOE</i> ε4 allele, a well-established LOAD risk factor. In summary, while adiponectin has emerged as a potential contributor to the development of LOAD, this study did not unveil any significant involvement of its gene variants in susceptibility to the disease. |
