Association of MTHFD1 G1958A Polymorphism with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Background The MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism is a common variation in the gene encoding methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase 1 (MTHFD1), an enzyme crucial for folate metabolism. This study investigated the association between the MTHFD1 G1958A polymorphism, which is involved in folate metabolism, and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. Methods A case-control study was conducted and 304 pregnant women (152 with gestational diabetes as cases and 152 healthy pregnant as controls) participated in the study.

Evaluation of the Association of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism rs2229238 in Interleukin 6 Receptor Alpha (IL6RA) Gene With the Risk of Preeclampsia.

Introduction Many studies have gone into single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in inflammatory-associated genes and preeclampsia risk; still, the findings are inconclusive. The current study aims to evaluate the association of SNP rs2229238 in the interleukin 6 receptor alpha (IL6RA) gene with the risk of preeclampsia. Methodology An observational case-control study was conducted and 216 patients were included in this study.
