Prolactin receptor gene polymorphisms are associated with gestational diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Human placental lactogen (hPL) acts via the prolactin receptor (PRLR) on maternal ?-cells to mediate increases in ?-cell mass and function during normal pregnancy. This interaction between hPL and PRLR is essential to maintain normal glucose homeostasis and to address the increased metabolic demands of pregnancy. Given the importance of the PRLR-hPL axis in pancreatic islet cell adaptation to pregnancy, we hypothesized that genetic variation in the PRLR gene could influence risk of development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). DNA samples from 96 mothers affected by GDM and 96 unaffected cases were genotyped for 8 selected single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in PRLR.Significant associations were identified in two SNPs analyzed. The minor alleles of PRLR SNPs rs10068521 and rs9292578 were more frequently observed in GDM cases than controls and were associated with a 2.36-fold increased risk for GDM in those carrying the minor allele.SNPs of the PRLR gene 5' UTR and promoter region are associated with increased risk for GDM in a population of Chilean subjects.

<h4>Aims</h4>Human placental lactogen (hPL) acts via the prolactin receptor (PRLR) on maternal β-cells to mediate increases in β-cell mass and function during normal pregnancy. This interaction between hPL and PRLR is essential to maintain normal glucose homeostasis and to address the increased metabolic demands of pregnancy. Given the importance of the PRLR-hPL axis in pancreatic islet cell adaptation to pregnancy, we hypothesized that genetic variation in the PRLR gene could influence risk of ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) increased risk of perinatal complications for both the women and the fetuses. The association between the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene polymorphism and GDM has not been thoroughly investigated in Chinese pregnant women. Therefore, we aimed to determine whether VDR gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs154410, rs7975232, rs731236, rs2228570 and rs739837 contribute to GDM risk in Wuhan, China. Moreover, we aimed to explore their combined effects on the risk of GDM.MethodsPregnant women who had prenatal examinations at 24 to 28 weeks' gestation in our hospital from January 15, 2018 to March 31, 2019 were included in this case-control study. After exclusion, a total of 1684 pregnant women (826 GDM patients and 858 non-diabetic controls) were recruited. The clinical information and blood samples were collected by trained interviewers and nurses. Genotyping of candidate SNPs was conducted on the Sequenom MassARRAY platform. Statistical analyses including t-test, ANOVA, chi-square test and logistic regression were performed to the data with SPSS Software to evaluate differences in genotype distribution and associations with GDM risk. Multifactor dimensionality reduction method was used to explore the gene-gene interactions on the risk of GDM.ResultsDifferences in age, pre-pregnancy BMI, family history of diabetes and previous history of GDM between the case and control groups were statistically significant (P?<?0.05), whereas no significant differences were found in height, gravidity, parity, and age of menarche (P?>?0.05). There were no significant differences at genotype distributions of the examined VDR gene SNPs (P?>?0.05). After adjusting by age, pre-pregnancy BMI, family history of diabetes, the results of logistic regression analysis showed no associations of the five SNPs with GDM in all the four genotype models(P?>?0.05). Furthermore, there were no gene-gene interactions on the GDM risk among the five examined VDR gene SNPs.ConclusionsThe VDR gene SNPs rs154410, rs7975232, rs731236, rs2228570 and rs739837 showed neither significant associations nor gene-gene interactions with GDM in Wuhan, China.
