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

Aminata Hallimat Cissé, Alan Kuang, Catherine Allard…·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.

Genetic scores explain variation in birthweight that is not captured by easily measured clinical and anthropometric variables

Maneka Haulder, Alice E. Hughes, Robin N. Beaumont…·Rachel M. Freathy

This paper shows genetic scores explain additional variance in birthweight beyond clinical variables, with maternal and fetal genetic scores adding 6.0% variance when combined.

All thresholds of maternal hyperglycaemia from the WHO 2013 criteria for gestational diabetes identify women with a higher genetic risk for type 2 diabetes

Alice E. Hughes, M. Geoffrey Hayes, Aoife Maria Egan…·Rachel M. Freathy

The paper examines how different glucose thresholds for gestational diabetes identify women with higher genetic risk for type 2 diabetes using genetic scores.
