ABSTRACT: Abstract
This study aimed at assessing the association of maternal diabetes mellitus (DM), the adiponectin gene (APM1) gene polymorphisms, and their interactions with risk of congenital heart disease (CHD) in offspring.A case-control study of 464 mothers of CHD patients and 504 mothers of healthy children was conducted.After adjusting for potential confounding factors, our study suggested that mothers with gestational DM (GDM) during this pregnancy (adjusted odds ratio [aOR?=?2.96]), GDM in previous pregnancy experiences (aOR?=?3.16), and pregestational DM in the 3?months before this pregnancy (aOR?=?4.52) were at a significantly higher risk of CHD in offspring, when compared with those without any diabetes. The polymorphisms of maternal APM1 gene at rs1501299?(T/T vs G/G: aOR?=?3.45; T/G vs G/G: aOR?=?1.73) and rs2241766?(G/G vs T/T, aOR?=?3.36; G/T vs T/T, aOR?=?1.93) were significantly associated with risk of CHD in offspring. In addition, significant interactions between maternal DM and the APM1 genetic variants on the development of CHD were found.Our findings indicate that maternal DM, APM1 gene genetic variants, and their interactions are significantly associated with risk of CHD in offspring. However, more studies in different ethnic populations and with a larger sample and prospective design are required to confirm our findings.
