Gene variants in the FTO gene are associated with adiponectin and TNF-alpha levels in gestational diabetes mellitus

Abstract Background Obesity may have a role in the development of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Single-nucleotide-polymorphisms (SNPs) of the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene have been associated with obesity. The aim of this study was to investigate SNPs rs8050136, rs9939609, and r...
