rs2229616, a variant in the MC4R gene known as V103I, has been associated with appetite regulation, body mass index (and thus obesity), and other features of metabolic syndrome.[PMID 18239646]

The most common allele is rs2229616(G); the rarer (A) allele encodes the 103I (isoleucine), and this (A) allele has been associated in a study of 8,000+ Caucasians with a significantly decreased waist circumference (-1.46 cm, p = 0.020), decreased glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (-0.09%, p = 0.040), and increased HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C) (+1.76 mg/dl, P = 0.056), but no change in blood pressure. The odds of having three or more components of the metabolic syndrome were substantially reduced among carriers of an rs2229616(A) allele (odds ratio = 0.46, p = 0.003). Basically, rs2229616(A) carriers are on average slightly leaner than rs2229616(G;G) homozygotes.[PMID 18239646]
