specific phenotypic variant of obesity is metabolically healthy (MHO), which is characterized by normal blood pressure and lipid and glucose profiles, in contrast to the metabolically unhealthy variant (MUO). The genetic causes underlying the differences between these phenotypes are not yet clear. This study aims to explore the differences between MHO and MUO and the contribution of genetic factors (single nucleotide polymorphisms\u2014SNPs) in 398 Hungarian adults (81 MHO and 317 MUO). For this investigation, an optimized genetic risk score (oGRS) was calculated using 67 SNPs (related to obesity and to lipid and glucose metabolism). Nineteen SNPs were identified whose combined effect was strongly associated with an increased risk of MUO (OR = 1.77, p &lt; 0.001). Four of them (rs10838687 in MADD, rs693 in APOB, rs1111875 in HHEX, and rs2000813 in LIPG) significantly increased the risk of MUO (OR = 1.76, p &lt; 0.001). Genetic risk groups based on oGRS were significantly associated with the risk of developing MUO at a younger age. We have identified a cluster of SNPs that contribute to the development of the metabolically unhealthy phenotype among Hungarian adults suffering from obesity. Our findings emphasize the significance of considering the combined effect(s) of multiple genes and SNPs in ascertaining cardiometabolic risk in obesity in future genetic screening programs.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms24065209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,9]],"date-time":"2023-03-09T02:33:16Z","timestamp":1678329196000},"page":"5209","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Genetic Background of Metabolically Healthy and Unhealthy Obesity Phenotypes in Hungarian Adult Sample Population"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"24","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5539-907X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Peter","family":"Piko","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ELKH-DE Public Health Research Group, Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Epidemiology and Surveillance Centre, Semmelweis University, 1085 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4300-0433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Erand","family":"Llanaj","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ELKH-DE Public Health Research Group, Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9864-3570","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Karoly","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9679-6669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roza","family":"Adany","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"ELKH-DE Public Health Research Group, Department of Public Health and Epidemiology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Debrecen, 4032 Debrecen, Hungary"},{"name":"Epidemiology and Surveillance Centre, Semmelweis University, 1085 Budapest, Hungary"},{"name":"Department of Public Health, Semmelweis University, 1089 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"791","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(18)32822-8","article-title":"The Global Syndemic of Obesity, Undernutrition, and Climate Change: The Lancet Commission report","volume":"393","author":"Swinburn","year":"2019","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2427483","DOI":"10.1155\/2017\/2427483","article-title":"Ethnic Differences in Risk Factors for Obesity among Adults in California, the United States","volume":"2017","author":"Wang","year":"2017","journal-title":"J.
