Associations of Plasma BDNF and BDNF Gene Polymorphism with Cardiometabolic Parameters in Thai Children: A Pilot Study

Table 4

Genotypic and allelic distribution of the single nucleotide polymorphisms BDNF G196A and C270T in nonobese and obese children.

	Obese	Nonobese	Genotypic or allelic
	N (%)	N (%)	value
BDNF G196A
AA	40 (21.0)	61 (21.9)
AG	82 (43.2)	137 (49.1)	0.284
GG	68 (35.8)	81 (29.0)
GG vs. GA + AA^a	0.721 (0.486–1.070)	Reference
	[0.104]
A allele	0.43 (162)	0.46 (259)	0.252
G allele	0.57 (218)	0.54 (299)
BDNF C270T
TT	2 (1.1)	3 (1.1)
TC	43 (22.6)	55 (19.7)	0.747
CC	145 (76.3)	221 (79.2)
CC vs. CT + TT^a	1.183 (0.769–1.840)	Reference
	[0.457]
T allele	0.12 (47)	0.11 (61)	0.499
C allele	0.88 (333)	0.89 (497)
