Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between MTNR1A and MTNR1B gene polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in Han Chinese women. METHODS: Study participants included 350 patients with GDM and 480 control subjects. Three single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs; rs2119882 in MTNR1A and rs10830963 and rs10830962 in MTNR1B) were genotyped using direct sequencing....
