Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between miR-137 gene polymorphism and genetic susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 500 pregnant women with gestational diabetes who were admitted to Shunde Women and Childrens Hospital of Guangdong Medical University from January 2023 to September 2023 were selected as the observation group, and 500 healthy pregnant women with normal glucose metabolism and no pregnancy complications were selected as the control group. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to detect rs1625579 polymorphisms of miR-137 gene between the two groups, and the clinical data of the two groups were compared to analyze the influencing factors of the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus.Results:The frequencies of GT+ GG genotype and allele G at rs1625579 site of miR-137 gene in observation group were 13.20% and 7.00%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in control group (all P<0.05). Fasting blood glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS) and insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR) of miR-137 genotype GT+ GG pregnant women in the observation group were (7.92±0.81)mmol/L, (19.92±3.10)mmol/L and 6.60±1.02, respectively. It was significantly higher than genotypic TT pregnant women (all P<0.05), and islet β cell function index (HOMA-β) was significantly lower than genotypic TT pregnant women (188.84±43.34) ( P<0.05). Pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) and average weekly weight gain during pregnancy in the observation group were (23.81±1.92)kg/m 2 and (445.50±35.65)g, respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the control group (all P<0.05). The proportion of family history of diabetes in the observation group was 8.60%, which was significantly higher than that in the control group ( P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that preconception BMI and average weekly weight gain during pregnancy were the influential factors for the occurrence of gestational diabetes (all P<0.05). Conclusions:The occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus has no significant correlation with miR-137 gene polymorphism, but is related to pre-pregnancy BMI and average weekly weight gain during pregnancy. Compared with other miR-137 genotypes, GT+ GG patients were more likely to develop abnormal blood glucose.
