Abstract

Aim: To analyze roles of single nucleotide variants (SNVs) on weight loss with US FDA-approved medications. Materials & methods: We searched the literature up until November 2022. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. Results: 14 studies were included in qualitative analysis and seven in meta-analysis. SNVs in CNR1, GLP-1R, MC4R, TCF7L2, CTRB1/2, ADIPOQ, SORCS1 and ANKK1 were evaluated relative to weight loss with glucagon-like peptide-1 agonists (13 studies) or naltrexone-bupropion (one study). CNR1 gene (rs1049353), GLP-1R gene (rs6923761, rs10305420), TCF7L2 gene (rs7903146) were associated with weight loss in at least one study involving glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist(s). The meta-analysis did not identify any consistent effect of SNVs. Conclusion: Pharmacogenetic interactions for exenatide, liraglutide, naltrexone-bupropion and weight loss were identified, but the directionality was inconsistent.
