Variant and Identifies Two Novel Associations in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Development
Genetic variation in human maternal DNA contributes to the susceptibility for development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).We assessed 77 maternal single nucleotide gene polymorphisms (SNPs) for associations with GDM or plasma glucose levels at OGTT in pregnancy.960 pregnant women (after dropouts 820: case/control: m99’WHO: 303/517, IADPSG: 287/533) were enrolled in two countries into this case-control study. After genomic DNA isolation the 820 samples were collected in a GDM biobank and assessed using KASP (LGC Genomics) genotyping assay. Logistic regression risk models were used to calculate ORs according to IADPSG/m’99WHO criteria based on standard OGTT values.) SNPs were associated with increased plasma glucose levels at routine OGTT. as a suggestive protective variant against GDM development. Genetic susceptibility appears to be more preponderant in individuals who meet both the modified 99’WHO and the IADPSG GDM diagnostic criteria
