Objective: To investigate the relationship between vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and provide evidence for the study of the mechanism of GDM. Methods: A case-control study design was used to study pregnant women who delivered in the obstetrics department of the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from March 1, 2012 to July 30, 2014. Of these, 334 cases were diagnosed with GDM and were matched 1∶1 by age, gestation time and residence to corresponding healthy controls. DNA genotyping was performed for the study subjects, and those with genotyping deletions >10% were excluded. Finally 323 cases and 320 controls were included in the study. Under co-dominant, dominant, recessive, and allele genetic models, unconditional logistic regression analysis on the relationship between VDR gene locus polymorphism and GDM was conducted. And software Haploview was used to analyze the relationship between haplotype and GDM. Results: At the genetic level, VDR gene was associated with the risk of developing GDM (P<0.05). After adjusting for pre-pregnancy body mass index, family history of diabetes, it was found that rs7967152 loci was associated with an increased risk of developing GDM (AC vs. AA, OR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.13-2.21; AC+CC vs. AA, OR=1.58, 95%CI: 1.15-2.18; C vs. A, OR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.10-1.82) and rs2238140 loci was associated with an increased risk of developing GDM (AA vs. GG, OR=2.24, 95%CI: 1.19-4.20; GA+AA vs. GG, OR=1.48, 95%CI: 1.07-2.03; A vs. G, OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.11-1.83). Carrying rs2853564 locus AG genotype and AG+GG genotype (OR=1.46, 95%CI: 1.04-2.05; OR=1.45, 95%CI: 1.05-2.00) compared with carrying AA genotype and carrying rs2853566 locus AG genotype and AG+GG genotype (OR=1.43, 95%CI: 1.03-2.00; OR=1.41, 95%CI: 1.02-1.94) compared with carrying AA genotype were risk factors for GDM. Haplotype block consisting of rs1544410, rs7967152 in the VDR gene with GC haplotype was a risk factor for GDM(OR=1.50, 95%CI: 1.15-1.97). Conclusions: VDR gene rs7967152, rs2238140, rs2853564, rs2853566 locus polymorphisms and block (rs1544410, rs7967152) GC haplotype were associated with an incrased risk of developing GDM.

4.Molecular biomarkers for gestational diabetes mellitus and postpartum diabetes.
Chinese Medical Journal 2022;135(16):1940-1951
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing public health problem worldwide that threatens both maternal and fetal health. Identifying individuals at high risk for GDM and diabetes after GDM is particularly useful for early intervention and prevention of disease progression. In the last decades, a number of studies have used metabolomics, genomics, and proteomic approaches to investigate associations between biomolecules and GDM progression. These studies clearly demonstrate that various biomarkers reflect pathological changes in GDM. The established markers have potential use as screening and diagnostic tools in GDM and in postpartum diabetes research. In the present review, we summarize recent studies of metabolites, single-nucleotide polymorphisms, microRNAs, and proteins associated with GDM and its transition to postpartum diabetes, with a focus on their predictive value in screening and diagnosis.

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This study was conducted to examine the relationship between family history of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and risk of developing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Korean women. METHODS: We performed a 100-g oral glucose tolerance test in 858 pregnant women who had abnormal glucose tolerance in 50-g oral glucose challenge. In addition, we reviewed the incidence of T2DM in the parents and siblings and analyzed the association between the familial history of T2DM and the risk of GDM. RESULTS: Of the 858 subjects, 427 were normal, and 431 were diagnosed with GDM. Compared with women with no family history of T2DM, women with first degree family history of T2DM displayed higher risk of T2DM (odd ratio: parent only 1.91, sibling only 6.24, any 2.27). CONCLUSIONS: The risk of developing GDM was significantly increased in Korean women with a family history of T2DM in first-degree relatives.

OBJECTIVETo identify risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in women and to study the contribution of family history of type-2 diabetes to the risk for DDM.
METHODSA case-control study was performed in 85 women with GDM and 177 cases controls. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression and log-linear model were used to identify risk factors of GDM.
RESULTSMultivariate logistic regression showed that obesity before pregnancy, family history of type-2 diabetes, birth weight of pregnant women, age, fasting plasma level of triglyceride, physical inactivity, etc. all were risk factors for GDM. Analysis with log-linear model showed that parents' (father's or mother's) history of type-2 diabetes associated with GDM, with P-values of 0.012 and 0.017, respectively. Prevalence of diabetes in the mothers of proband with GDM was 9.41%, as compared with that in the fathers of proband with GDM 8.24%, with no statistical significance.
CONCLUSIONSObesity before gestation, family history of type-2 diabetes, low birth weight of mother, age, increased fasting plasma level of triglyceride, as well as parents' history of type-2 diabetes, all were risk factors for GDM. Physical exercise was found to be a protective factor for GDM. Mother's history of type-2 diabetes did not differ from father's in contributing to the onset of GDM in their offspring.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of dual specificity phosphatase 9 (DUSP9) gene rs5945326 locus with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).
METHODS:
Genotypes for the rs5945326 locus were determined for 206 pregnant women with GDM (GDM group) and 189 unaffected pregnant women (control group). Allelic and genotypic frequencies of the GDM and control groups were compared. For individuals with various genotypes, the level of blood glucose, serum lipids, and body mass index (BMI) were also compared.
RESULTS:
The frequencies of AA, AG and GG genotypes for the GDM group were 32.2%, 52.2% and 15.6%, respectively, and 41.2%, 43.9% and 15.0%, for the control group, respectively. No significant difference was detected in the distribution of above genotypes between the two groups (chi-square=3.601, P=0.165). The frequencies of alleles A and G were 58.3% and 41.7% in the GDM group, and 63.1% and 36.9% in the control group, respectively. No significant difference was detected between the two groups too (chi-square=1.894, P=0.188). The high density lipoprotein (HDL) levels of the GG genotype [(2.34×0.61) mmol/L] was significantly higher than that of the AG+AA genotype [(2.06×0.56) mmol/L] (t=2.993, P=0.003). No significant difference was detected in other clinical indexes between the two groups (P> 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The SNP rs5945326 in DUSP9 gene may be not associated with the risk of GDM. However, there are correlated with HDL levels.

Melatonin receptor 1B (MT2, encoded by the MTNR1B gene), a high-affinity receptor for melatonin, is associated with glucose homeostasis including glucose uptake and transport. The rs10830963 variant in the MTNR1B gene is linked to glucose metabolism disorders including gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM); however, the relationship between MT2-mediated melatonin signaling and a high birth weight of GDM infants from maternal glucose abnormality remains poorly understood. This article aims to investigate the relationship between rs10830963 variants and GDM development, as well as the effects of MT2 receptor on glucose uptake and transport in trophoblasts. TaqMan-MGB (minor groove binder) probe quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assays were used for rs10930963 genotyping. MT2 expression in the placenta of GDM and normal pregnant women was detected by immunofluorescence, western blot, and qPCR. The relationship between MT2 and glucose transporters (GLUTs) or peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) was established by western blot, and glucose consumption of trophoblasts was measured by a glucose assay kit. The results showed that the genotype and allele frequencies of rs10830963 were significantly different between GDM and normal pregnant women (P<0.05). The fasting, 1-h and 2-h plasma glucose levels of G-allele carriers were significantly higher than those of C-allele carriers (P<0.05). Besides, the protein and messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of MT2 in the placenta of GDM was significantly higher than that of normal pregnant women (P<0.05). Melatonin could stimulate glucose uptake and GLUT4 and PPARγ protein expression in trophoblasts, which could be attenuated by MT2 receptor knockdown. In conclusion, the rs10830963 variant was associated with an increased risk of GDM. The MT2 receptor is essential for melatonin to raise glucose uptake and transport, which may be mediated by PPARγ.
