d-GDM: A mobile diagnostic decision support system for gestational diabetes.

Objective: The aim of the study is to describe a portable and convenient software to facilitate the diagnostics of gestational (GDM) and pre-gestational diabetes (PGDM).

Materials And Methods: An open source software, d-GDM, was developed in Java. The integrated development environment Android Studio was used as the Android operational system.

Association of Polymorphism rs17576 of the Metalloproteinase 9 Gene with Gestational Diabetes in Euro-Brazilian Pregnant Women.

Background: Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) is involved in the degradation of extracellular matrix molecules, and its polymorphism rs17576 (Gln279Arg) has been associated with diabetes. We investigated the association of rs17576 in a case-control study with Euro-Brazilian women with gestational diabetes.

Methods: The study group consisted of a total of 262 Euro-Brazilian pregnant women classified as either healthy (n = 131, control) or with GDM (n = 131).
