MTNR1B genetic polymorphisms as risk factors for gestational diabetes mellitus: a case-control study in a single tertiary care center.


ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disease in pregnancy that causes carbohydrate intolerance and hyper-glycemia. Genome-wide association studies and meta-analyses have found that the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs1387153 and rs10830963 of the melatonin receptor 1B ( MTNR1B) gene are associated with GDM. No studies on the MTNR1B gene effect on GDM have been performed in Saudis, other Arabs, or other Middle Eastern populations. OBJECTIVES:Investigate the association of genotype or allele frequencies of the two SNPs with GDM and with clinical parameters related to GDM. DESIGN:Case-control study. SETTINGS:Tertiary care center, Riyadh. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We recruited 400 pregnant Saudi women ages 18-45 years (200 were diagnosed with GDM, and 200 were healthy controls). Biochemical assays were performed, and rs1387153 and rs10830963 polymorphisms were analyzed by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and real-time polymerase chain reaction with TaqMan genotyping. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The association of MTNR1B gene (rs1387153 and rs10830963 polymorphisms) with GDM and with biochemical parameters related to GDM. SAMPLE SIZE:200 GDM cases and 200 non-GDM controls. RESULTS:Differences in allele frequencies for GDM vs non-GMD were statistically significant or nearly significant for both SNPs after adjustment for age and body mass index. In a logistic regression analysis, genotype TT was positively associated with post-prandial blood glucose (P=.018), but other associations were not statistically significant. CONCLUSION:The odds ratios for the associations between the rs1387153 and rs10830963 SNPs and GDM exceeded 1.5-fold, which is higher than typically reported for diseases with complex genetic background. These effect sizes for GDM suggest pregnancy-specific factors related to the MTNR1B risk genotypes. LIMITATIONS:Only two SNPs were studied. CONFLICT OF INTEREST:None.
