Abstract:

Objective   To investigate the relations between serum leptin and leptin receptor (LEPR) Gln223Arg polymorphism with gastro-esophageal reflux disease(GERD). Methods   62 patients with GERD were selected according to reflux disease questionnaire and gastroscope inspection and divided into the reflux esophagitis (RE) group and nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) group. In addition, 63 healthy subjects were selected as the control group. The serum leptin levels were determined by ELISA, and LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphisms were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphisms assay. Results   The levels of leptin in RE group and NERD group were both significantly higher than in control group (P<0.05); the degree of inflammation in RE group was positively correlated with leptin level. GA+AA genotype and A allele frequency of LEPR gene in RE group and NERD group were significantly higher than those in control group (P<0.05). The leptin in patients with GA+AA genotype was significantly higher than that in patients with GG genotype (P<0.05). Conclusion   The serum leptin and the LEPR Gln223Arg polymorphism are associated with GERD.
