Multi-ancestry, trans-generational GWAS meta-analysis of gestational diabetes and glycaemic traits during pregnancy reveals limited evidence of pregnancy-specific genetic effects

Caroline Brito Nunes, Valentina Rukins, Aminata Hallimat Cissé, Frédérique White, Nancy McBride, Alan Kuang, Catherine Allard, Justiina Ronkainen, Alice Hughes, Amanda Elliott, Guðmar Þorleifsson, Marc Vaudel, Triin Laisk, Yuqin Gu, Amel Lamri, , Gunn-Helen Moen

The paper conducts a multi-ancestry, trans-generational GWAS meta-analysis of gestational diabetes and glycemic traits, identifying novel loci and highlighting limited pregnancy-specific genetic effects.

Examining the impact of gestational diabetes genetic susceptibility variants on maternal glucose levels during and post-pregnancy

Aminata Hallimat Cissé, Alan Kuang, Catherine Allard, Justiina Ronkainen, Robin N. Beaumont, Sylvain Sebert, Denise M. Scholtens, Andrew Tym Hattersley, Marja Vääräsmäki, Eero Kajantie, Luigi Bouchard, Patrice Perron, Elina Keikkala, Marie‐France Hivert, William L. Lowe, , Rachel M. Freathy

This study examines how genetic variants linked to gestational diabetes affect maternal glucose levels during and after pregnancy, finding consistent associations with fasting glucose but varying effects on postprandial glucose.
