Abstract excerpt
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is glucose intolerance detected during pregnancy. The MTNR1B gene is the genetic locus associated with type 2 diabetes, that may affect insulin secretion and pancreatic glucose sensing. In this study, we examined the association between MTNR1A (rs2119882) and MTNR1B (rs10830963, rs4753426) gene polymorphisms and the risk of GDM. According to the results of their oral glucose...
