Abstract excerpt
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication characterized by hyperglycemia and insulin resistance, with unclear genetic mechanisms. The specific involvement of proinflammatory cytokines, including IL-17A, and the immuno-tolerogenic HLA-G remains poorly understood in GDM. We aimed to explore the associations of three polymorphisms, IL-17A -197G>A (rs2275913), IL-17RA -947A>G (rs4819554),...
