The PPARGC1A gene encodes PGC-1 alpha, which regulates cellular energy metabolism. Objective: We aimed to test the hypothesis that the PPARGC1A rs8192678 risk A allele would influence the risk of NAFLD in obese children. Design: We genotyped PPARGC1A rs8192678 and PNPLA3 rs738409 in 781 obese children aged 7-18 y. NAFLD was determined by ultrasonography. We evaluated the independent influence of the PPARGC1A rs8192678 risk A allele on pediatric NAFLD after control for the effect of the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism. Results: A total of 23.3% of the recruited obese children had NAFLD. PNPLA3 rs738409 increased the OR of NAFLD by 1.622 (95% CI: 1.071, 2.457; P = 0.023) in subjects with GC alleles and 2.659 (95% CI: 1.509, 4.686; P < 0.001) for GG alleles, as compared with CC alleles. After control for the effects of age-and sex-adjusted BMI, sex, and PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism, the PPARGC1A rs8192678 risk A allele was an independent risk factor for developing NAFLD, with an OR of 1.740 (95% CI: 1.149, 2.637; P = 0.009). Subjects with the PPARGC1A rs8192678 risk A allele had an increase in the mean serum alanine aminotransferase concentration of 5.2 IU/L, as compared with subjects without this allele (P = 0.011). Conclusion: The PPARGC1A rs8192678 risk A allele is associated with an increased risk of NAFLD, independent of the effect of the PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism in our population of obese Taiwanese children.
