  • Title: Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of the IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α Genes with Susceptibility to Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.
    Author: Wei Q, Chen X, Chen H.
    Journal: Genet Test Mol Biomarkers; 2020 Jul; 24(7):390-398. PubMed ID: 32513030.
    Abstract:
    Objective: To investigate any associations between the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the interleukin-6 (IL-6) rs1800796, interleukin-10 (IL-10) rs1800896, and the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) rs1800629 loci with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) susceptibility. Materials and Methods: A total of 242 GDM patients and 242 healthy controls were enrolled in this study. The genotypes of the IL-6 rs1800796, IL-10 rs1800896, and TNF-α rs1800629 loci were analyzed by Sanger sequencing. Interactions among these SNPs were analyzed through multifactor dimensionality reduction. Results: Women with the IL-6 rs1800796 G allele had a higher GDM susceptibility risk than those with the C allele (odds ratio [OR] = 1.44, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10-1.90, p = 0.010). Women with the IL-10 rs1800896 C allele had a higher risk of GDM susceptibility than those with the T allele (OR = 2.94, 95% CI: 1.87-4.63, p < 0.001). Women with the TNF-α rs1800629 A allele had a higher risk of susceptibility to GDM than those with the G allele (OR = 3.73, 95% CI: 2.25-6.18, p < 0.001). The plasma levels of IL-6 and TNF-α in GDM patients were significantly higher than those in the control group, and the levels of IL-10 were significantly lower than those in the control group (p < 0.001). Women with the IL-6 rs1800796 CG/GG genotypes had higher plasma IL-6 levels than those with the CC genotype (p < 0.05). Women with the IL-10 rs1800896 TT genotype had higher IL-10 levels than those with the TC/CC genotypes (p < 0.05), and those with the TNF-α rs1800629 GA/AA genotypes had higher TNF-α levels than those with the GG genotype (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The results of this study show that the IL-6 rs1800796 G allele, the IL-10 rs1800896 C allele, and the TNF-α rs1800629 A allele are significantly associated with an increased risk of susceptibility to GDM.
