Abstract
BACKGROUND The association between TCF7L2 and CAPN10 gene polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been explored in diverse populations across different geographical regions. Yet, most of these studies have been confined to a limited number of loci, resulting in inconsistent findings. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive review of published literature to identify studies examining the relationship between TCF7L2 and CAPN10 gene polymorphisms and the incidence of GDM in various populations. We specifically focused on five loci that were extensively reported in a large number of publications and performed a meta-analysis. METHODS We prioritized the selection of SNPs with well-documented correlations established in existing literature on GDM. We searched eight Chinese and English databases: Cochrane, Elton B. Stephens. Company (EBSCO), Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang, and China Science and Technology Journal Database and retrieved all relevant articles published between the inception of the database and July 2022. The Newcastle Ottawa Scale (NOS) was used to evaluate the selected articles, and the odds ratio (OR) was used as the combined effect size index to determine the association between genotypes, alleles, and GDM using different genetic models. Heterogeneity between the studies was quantified and the I2 value calculated. Due to large heterogeneities between different ethnic groups, subgroup analysis was used to explore the correlation between genetic polymorphisms and the incidence of GDM in the different populations. The stability of the results was assessed using sensitivity analysis. Begg's and Egger's tests were used to assess publication bias. RESULTS A total of 39 articles reporting data on 8,795 cases and 16,290 controls were included in the analysis. The frequency of the rs7901695 genotype was statistically significant between cases and controls in the European population (OR = 0.72, 95% CI: 0.65-0.86) and the American population (OR = 0.61, 95% CI: 0.48-0.77). The frequencies of rs12255372, rs7901695, rs290487, and rs2975760 alleles were also considerably different between the cases and controls in the populations analyzed. CONCLUSIONS rs7903146, rs12255372, rs7901695, rs290487, and rs2975760 were associated with the incidence of GDM in different populations.

Abstract
Polymorphism of transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) has a link with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) through β cell dysfunction that causes defect in blood glucose homeostasis. This case-control study recruited 67 T2DM as cases and 65 age-matched healthy individuals as controls to determine whether the polymorphism rs12255372 (G > T) in the TCF7L2 gene have an association with T2DM in Bangladeshi population. Genomic DNA was purified from peripheral whole blood sample and direct Sanger sequencing was done for genotyping of SNP. Bivariate logistic regression was done to find out the association between genetic variant and T2DM. In our study, the minor T allele frequency was significantly more frequent in T2DM group than healthy controls (29.1% vs. 16.9%). After adjusting with confounding factors, heterozygous-genotype GT had higher odds of developing T2DM (OR 2.4; 95% CI: 1.0-5.5; p value = 0.04) and in dominant model, having SNP in TCF7L2 increased the risk of T2DM 2.3 times (95% CI: 1.0-5.2; p value = 0.04). In interaction model, genetic susceptible SNP cases interacted significantly with increasing age and BMI, female gender, and having family history of diabetes mellitus to develop T2DM (pinteraction < 0.001). Having minor T allele either in heterozygous or homozygous variant form of rs12255372 (G > T) TCF7L2 had significant association with T2DM. In conclusion, TCF7L2 gene variant increases risk of developing T2DM among the Bangladeshi population.

Abstract
Background and objectives. Gestational diabetes mellitus is an increasingly diagnosed metabolic disorder during pregnancy with unknown pathological pathways. Taking into account the growing numbers of women who are conceiving after assisted reproductive technologies, they comprise an engaging target group for gestational diabetes mellitus etiopathogenesis research. In terms of metabolism and genetics, as the evidence shows, both unexplained infertility and gestational diabetes mellitus pose challenges for their interpretation due to the complex bodily processes. Materials and Methods. Our study examined the expression of genes (IGF2, GRB10, CRTC2, HMGA2, ESR1, DLK1, SLC6A15, GPT2, PLAGL1) associated with glucose metabolism in unexplained infertility patients who conceived after in vitro fertilization procedure, were diagnosed with GDM and their findings were compared with control population. Results. There were no significant differences in gene expression of endometrium stromal cells between healthy pregnant women and women with gestational diabetes, although the significant downregulation of CRTC2 was observed in the follicular fluid of women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Moreover, expression of HMGA2 and ESR1 was significantly reduced in FF cells when compared to endometrial cells. Conclusions. These findings may indicate about the importance of follicular fluid as an indicator for gestational diabetes and should be explored more by further research.

Abstract
One of the most common complications during pregnancy is gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), hyperglycemia that occurs for the first time during pregnancy. The condition is multifactorial, caused by an interaction between genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for its pathogenesis remain elusive. Moreover, in contrast to several common metabolic disorders, molecular research in GDM is lagging. It is important to recognize that GDM is still commonly diagnosed during the second trimester of pregnancy using the oral glucose tolerance test (OGGT), at a time when both a fetal and maternal pathophysiology is already present, demonstrating the increased blood glucose levels associated with exacerbated insulin resistance. Therefore, early detection of metabolic changes and associated epigenetic and genetic factors that can lead to an improved prediction of adverse pregnancy outcomes and future cardio-metabolic pathologies in GDM women and their children is imperative. Several genomic and epigenetic approaches have been used to identify the genes, genetic variants, metabolic pathways, and epigenetic modifications involved in GDM to determine its etiology. In this article, we explore these factors as well as how their functional effects may contribute to immediate and future pathologies in women with GDM and their offspring from birth to adulthood. We also discuss how these approaches contribute to the changes in different molecular pathways that contribute to the GDM pathogenesis, with a special focus on the development of insulin resistance.

Abstract
Current knowledge suggests a complex role of C-peptide in human physiology, but its mechanism of action is only partially understood. The effects of C-peptide appear to be variable depending on the target tissue, physiological environment, its combination with other bioactive molecules such as insulin, or depending on its concentration. It is apparent that C-peptide has therapeutic potential for the treatment of vascular and nervous damage caused by type 1 or late type 2 diabetes mellitus. The question remains whether the effect is mediated by the receptor, the existence of which is still uncertain, or whether an alternative non-receptor-mediated mechanism is responsible. The Institute of Endocrinology in Prague has been paying much attention to the issue of C-peptide and its metabolic effect since the 1980s. The RIA methodology of human C-peptide determination was introduced here and transferred to commercial production. By long-term monitoring of C-peptide oGTT-derived indices, the Institute has contributed to elucidating the pathophysiology of glucose tolerance disorders. This review summarizes the current knowledge of C-peptide physiology and highlights the contributions of the Institute of Endocrinology to this issue.

Abstract
Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most frequent causes of irreversible blindness, thus prevention and early detection of DR is crucial. The purpose of this study is to identify genetic determinants of DR in individuals with type 2 diabetic mellitus (T2DM). A total of 551 T2DM patients (254 with DR, 297 without DR) were included in this cross-sectional research. Thirteen T2DM-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were utilized for constructing genetic risk prediction model. With logistic regression analysis, genetic variations of the FTO (rs8050136) and PSMD6 (rs831571) polymorphisms were independently associated with a higher risk of DR. The area under the curve (AUC) calculated on known nongenetic risk variables was 0.704. Based on the five SNPs with the highest odds ratio (OR), the combined nongenetic and genetic prediction model improved the AUC to 0.722. The discriminative accuracy of our 5-SNP combined risk prediction model increased in patients who had more severe microalbuminuria (AUC = 0.731) or poor glycemic control (AUC = 0.746). In conclusion, we found a novel association for increased risk of DR at two T2DM-associated genetic loci, FTO (rs8050136) and PSMD6 (rs831571). Our predictive risk model presents new insights in DR development, which may assist in enabling timely intervention in reducing blindness in diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There is sparse evidence for the impact of gene-diet interaction on gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) onset. Recent findings have shown that late first-trimester high adherence to a Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) pattern is associated with a GDM risk reduction. The aim of this study was to investigate if this effect could be modulated by TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism.Research design and methods: A total of 874 pregnant women participants in the St Carlos GDM prevention study, were stratified into three groups defined as "High,5-6 on targets", "Moderate, 2-4 on targets" or "Low, 0-1 on targets" adherence to Mediterranean diet according to late first-trimester compliance with six food targets: >12 servings/week of vegetables, >12 pieces/week of fruits, <2 servings/week of juice, >3 servings/week of nuts, >6 days/week and >40 mL/day consumption of extra virgin olive oil. All patients were genotyped for rs7903146 using Taqman technology. RESULTS Logistic regression analysis revealed that the risk of developing GDM in those with high adherence versus low adherence was significantly reduced only in carriers of the T-allele (CT + TT), with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.15 (95% CI:0.05-0.48). This effect was not observed in CC carriers. Interaction analysis yielded significant rs7903146-MedDiet interaction in GDM risk (p < 0.03). CONCLUSIONS Women carrying the rs7903146 T-allele who highly adhere to a MedDiet early in pregnancy have lower risk of developing GDM than CC carriers. This reinforces the importance of identifying patients at risk of GDM who would be especially sensitive to nutritional interventions based on their genetic characteristics.

Abstract
Background The Czech governmental study suggests up to a 25% higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in the Roma population than within the majority population. It is not known whether and to what extent these differences have a genetic background. Methods To analyze whether the frequencies of the alleles/genotypes of the FTO, TCF7L2, CDKN2A/2B, MAEA, TLE4, IGF2BP2, ARAP1, and KCNJ11 genes differ between the two major ethnic groups in the Czech Republic, we examined them in DNA samples from 302 Roma individuals and 298 Czech individuals. Results Compared to the majority population, Roma are more likely to carry risk alleles in the FTO (26% vs. 16% GG homozygotes, p < .01), IGF2BP2 (22% vs. 10% TT homozygotes, p < .0001), ARAP1 (98% vs. 95% of A allele carriers, p < .005), and CDKN2A/2B (81% vs. 66% of TT homozygotes, p < .001) genes; however, less frequently they are carriers of the TCF7L2 risk allele (34% vs. 48% of the T allele p < .0005). Finally, we found significant accumulation of T2DM‐associated alleles between the Roma population in comparison with the majority population (25.4% vs. 15.2% of the carriers of at least 12 risk alleles; p < .0001). Conclusion The increased prevalence of T2DM in the Roma population may have a background in different frequencies of the risk alleles of genes associated with T2DM development.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MicroRNA (miRNA) regulates cellular processes by acting on specific target genes, and cellular processes proceed through multiple interactions often organized into pathways among genes and gene products. Hundreds of miRNAs and their target genes have been identified, as are many miRNA-disease associations. These, together with huge amounts of data on gene annotation, biological pathways, and protein-protein interactions are available in public databases. Here, using such data we built a database and web service platform, miRNA disease regulatory network (miRDRN), for users to construct disease and tissue-specific miRNA-protein regulatory networks, with which they may explore disease related molecular and pathway associations, or find new ones, and possibly discover new modes of drug action. METHODS Data on disease-miRNA association, miRNA-target association and validation, gene-tissue association, gene-tumor association, biological pathways, human protein interaction, gene ID, gene ontology, gene annotation, and product were collected from publicly available databases and integrated. A large set of miRNA target-specific regulatory sub-pathways (RSPs) having the form (T, G 1, G 2) was built from the integrated data and stored, where T is a miRNA-associated target gene, G 1 (G 2) is a gene/protein interacting with T (G 1). Each sequence (T, G 1, G 2) was assigned a p-value weighted by the participation of the three genes in molecular interactions and reaction pathways. RESULTS A web service platform, miRDRN (http://mirdrn.ncu.edu.tw/mirdrn/), was built. The database part of miRDRN currently stores 6,973,875 p-valued RSPs associated with 116 diseases in 78 tissue types built from 207 diseases-associated miRNA regulating 389 genes. miRDRN also provides facilities for the user to construct disease and tissue-specific miRNA regulatory networks from RSPs it stores, and to download and/or visualize parts or all of the product. User may use miRDRN to explore a single disease, or a disease-pair to gain insights on comorbidity. As demonstrations, miRDRN was applied: to explore the single disease colorectal cancer (CRC), in which 26 novel potential CRC target genes were identified; to study the comorbidity of the disease-pair Alzheimer's disease-Type 2 diabetes, in which 18 novel potential comorbid genes were identified; and, to explore possible causes that may shed light on recent failures of late-phase trials of anti-AD, BACE1 inhibitor drugs, in which genes downstream to BACE1 whose suppression may affect signal transduction were identified.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Activation of the Wnt-signaling pathway is known to inhibit differentiation in adipocytes. However, there is a gap in our understanding of the transcriptional network regulated by components of the Wnt-signaling pathway during adipogenesis and in adipocytes during postnatal life. The key intracellular effectors of the Wnt-signaling pathway occur through TCF transcription factors such as TCF7L2 (transcription factor-7-like 2). Several genetic variants in proximity to TCF7L2 have been linked to type 2 diabetes through genome-wide association studies in various human populations. Our work aims to functionally characterize the adipocyte specific gene program regulated by TCF7L2 and understand how this program regulates metabolism. METHODS We generated Tcf7l2F/F mice and assessed TCF7L2 function in isolated adipocytes and adipose specific knockout mice. ChIP-sequencing and RNA-sequencing was performed on the isolated adipocytes with control and TCF7L2 knockout cells. Adipose specific TCF7L2 knockout mice were challenged with high fat diet and assessed for body weight, glucose tolerance, and lipolysis. RESULTS Here we report that TCF7L2 regulates adipocyte size, endocrine function, and glucose metabolism. Tcf7l2 is highly expressed in white adipose tissue, and its expression is suppressed in genetic and diet-induced models of obesity. Genome-wide distribution of TCF7L2 binding and gene expression analysis in adipocytes suggests that TCF7L2 directly regulates genes implicated in cellular metabolism and cell cycle control. When challenged with a high-fat diet, conditional deletion of TCF7L2 in adipocytes led to impaired glucose tolerance, impaired insulin sensitivity, promoted weight gain, and increased adipose tissue mass. This was accompanied by reduced expression of triglyceride hydrolase, reduced fasting-induced free fatty acid release, and adipocyte hypertrophy in subcutaneous adipose tissue. CONCLUSIONS Together our studies support that TCF7L2 is a central transcriptional regulator of the adipocyte metabolic program by directly regulating the expression of genes involved in lipid and glucose metabolism.

Abstract
Presently, data on the type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in Chinese Korean ethnicity are very scarce. This study aimed to explore the relationship between the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) and T2DM in Chinese Korean ethnicity population. This case-control study involved 43 T2DM Chinese Korean ethnicity patients (T2DM group) and 43 healthy Chinese Korean ethnicity normoglycemic subjects as controls (Control group). All included participants aged from 40 to 75 years old. Clinical and biological data were collected to determine the phenotypic traits. The restriction fragment length polymorphism-polymerase chain reaction was used to analyze the TCF7L2 by genotyping for rs7903146 (C/T). Spectrophotometer with Chronolab kits was used to conduct the biochemical analyses. TCF7L2 was associated with T2DM in the Chinese Korean ethnicity population (P < .01 for alleles, and P < .05 for genotypes). Significant differences were found 2 groups regarding the T allele (37.2% T2DM patients vs 15.1% healthy subjects, P < .01), and G allele (62.8% T2DM patients vs 84.9% healthy subjects, P < .01). The risk genotypes were GG (83.7% T2DM patients, vs 44.2% healthy control, P < .01), GT (4.7% T2DM patients, vs 20.9% healthy control, P = .04), and TT (11.6% T2DM patients, vs 34.9% healthy control, P = .01). The results of this study demonstrated that TCF7L2 is associated with T2DM in the Chinese Korean ethnicity population, which is an important risk factor for T2DM in this population.

Abstract
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder occurring in premenopausal women, with a prevalence rate of 5%–7%. It has been observed in multiple number of studies the coexistence between diabetes mellitus 2 and obesity with this endocrinopathic disorder. Transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene is shown to be associated with insulin secretion. Aim: To screen whether the gene variant of TCF7L2 (formerly TCF4) gene is significantly associated and has susceptibilities with type 2 diabetes in PCOS. This study is essential to uncover diabetogenic association of the TCF7L2 gene variants with PCOS. Design: This was a hospital-based study. Methods: In this work, blood samples from 43 PCOS patients with age and sex similar to 43 control samples were collected, followed by isolation of DNA. Further genotyping of the TCF7L2 gene was carried out by performing polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Statistical Analysis: Genotype frequencies of the TCF7L2 rs7903146 gene were checked by Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium of genotype in both PCOS and the control group, and also, the frequencies of the genotype were performed accordingly. Results: There was no significant allelic variation observed among the patient and the control samples. From the patient details, it was observed that women between the age group of 21 and 25 years are susceptible to PCOS. Conclusion: From the PCR-RFLP analysis, it can be stated that there are no expected gene polymorphisms seen in this study, unlike the study carried out on the Chinese population where they observed genotype variations CC, CT, and TT. From this study, we can conclude that TCF7L2 rs7903146 gene cannot be considered as the candidate gene for the occurrence of PCOS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Large scale association studies have found a significant association between type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) polymorphism rs7903146. However, the quality of data varies greatly, as the studies report inconsistent results in different populations. Hence, we perform this meta-analysis to give a more convincing result. METHODS The articles, published from January 1st, 2000 to April 1st, 2017, were identified by searching in PubMed and Google Scholar. A total of 56628 participants (34232 cases and 22396 controls) were included in the meta-analysis. A total of 28 studies were divided into 4 subgroups: Caucasian (10 studies), East Asian (5 studies), South Asian (5 studies) and Others (8 studies). All the data analyses were analyzed by the R package meta. RESULTS The significant association was observed by using the dominant model (OR = 1.41, CI = 1.36 - 1.47, p < 0.0001), recessive model (OR = 1.58, CI = 1.48 - 1.69, p < 0.0001), additive model(CT vs CC) (OR = 1.34, CI = 1.28-1.39, p < 0.0001), additive model(TT vs CC) (OR = 1.81, CI = 1.69-1.94, p < 0.0001)and allele model (OR = 1.35, CI = 1.31-1.39, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION The meta-analysis suggested that rs7903146 was significantly associated with T2DM in Caucasian, East Asian, South Asian and other ethnicities.

Abstract
Several polymorphisms have been identified in transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2), and calpain-10 (CAPN10) genes. Controversial conclusions for the genetic relationship between these polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risks were obtained. Our study aims at assessing whether these polymorphisms are associated with GDM susceptibility via a meta-analysis. A total of 19 eligible case-control articles were obtained after databases searching. A significantly increased GDM risk was observed for TCF7L2 rs7903146 (all OR > 1, p < 0.01), but not rs12255372. In addition, significant difference was observed in case/control comparison for 112/112 (GG/2R2R/TT) haplotype combination frequency of CAPN10 SNP-43/19/63 (OR = 3.32, p = 0.043). In summary, TCF7L2 rs7903146 and 112/112 haplotype of CAPN10 might be associated with GDM risks.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE TCF7L2 variant rs7903146 is associated with increased risk for type 2 diabetes. We investigated the effect of TCF7L2 variant rs7903146 and glucose tolerance on free fatty acid (FFA) metabolism. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We recruited 120 individuals, half homozygous for the major CC allele and half homozygous for the minor TT allele at rs7903146; each underwent a 2-h, 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Plasma glucose, insulin and free fatty acid concentrations were measured on blood collected before and during the OGTT. RESULTS Total FFA concentrations and percent FA species during OGTT were not different in CC and TT carriers when males and females were considered together. However, monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) concentrations and percentages were greater in TT than CC females during the OGTT. TT carriers with high HOMA-IR had significantly greater fasting FFA concentrations, lower disposition index (DI) and greater AUC of glucose than high HOMA-IR CC carriers, whereas no such differences were observed in the low HOMA-IR group. We found that fasting (826±25 vs. 634±22μmol/L, P<0.0001) and OGTT plasma FFA concentrations were greater in IGT than NGT subjects, and the difference remained after adjusting for sex, age, BMI, and genotype. Finally, IGT subjects had greater MUFA concentrations and percentages than NGT subjects during OGTT. CONCLUSIONS Despite similar fasting insulin and glucose, fasting plasma FFA are greater in IGT than NGT adults. Insulin resistance and sex influence plasma FFA responses amongst carriers of the minor T allele of TCF7L2 rs7903146.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Studies have been carried out to evaluate the correlation between TCF7L2 genetic polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) risk. However, the conclusions from these studies are incomplete, because partial single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed. We carried out a meta-analysis aimed to systematically evaluate TCF7L2 gene polymorphisms and GDM susceptibility in all population and racial/ethnic subgroups to afford a foundation for future research. MATERIALS AND METHODS Published studies censoring TCF7L2 variants and GDM risk were captured from the EMBASE, PubMed, CNKI and Wanfang databases. The meta-analysis was processed using software of RevMan 5.2 and Stata13. The relationship between TCF7L2 polymorphism and GDM occurrence was evaluated by pooled odds ratios. Stratified analysis based on race/ethnicity was also carried out. The allele-specific odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were counted, and based on homogeneity evaluated using the I2 -test, fixed- or random-effects pooled measures were selected. RESULTS A total of 22 studies were covered, capturing eight TCF7L2 SNPs and involving 5,573 cases and 13,266 controls. Six of eight SNPs showed significant relationships with GDM occurrence, of which the SNPs rs7903146, rs12255372 and rs7901695 were the most powerful. Stratified analysis by race/ethnicity showed discrepant results in these three SNPs. In Caucasians and other races, all these SNPs were found to have a significant association with GDM risk, but in Asians, only SNP rs7903146 showed a significant association. CONCLUSIONS Six of eight SNPs were found to have significant associations between TCF7L2 variants and GDM risk in the overall population, with the most powerful in SNPs being rs7903146, rs12255372 and rs7901695, but the contribution of these SNPs to GDM risk were variable among different racial/ethnic groups.

Abstract
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is the most frequent metabolic disorder in pregnancy. Women with a GDM history are at increased risk of developing diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. Studies have demonstrated a significant correlation between several genes involved in the metabolic pathway of insulin and environmental factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between clinical parameters in GDM and variants in genes involved with nutrients and metabolism. Several variants PPARG2 rs1801282 (C>G); PPARGC1A rs8192678 (C>T); TCF7L2 rs7903146 (C>T); LDLR rs2228671 (C>T); MTHFR rs1801133 (C>T); APOA5 rs662799 (T>C); GCKR rs1260326 (C>T); FTO rs9939609 (T>A); MC4R rs17782313 (T>C) were genotyped in 168 pregnant Caucasian women with or without GDM by High Resolution Melting (HRM) analysis. A significant correlation was observed between TT genotype of TCF7L2 gene and increased risk of GDM (OR 5.4 [95% CI 1.5-19.3]). Moreover, a significant correlation was observed between lipid parameters and genetic variations in additional genes, namely, PPARG2 [p = 0,02], APOA5 [p = 0,02], MC4R [p = 0,03], LDLR [p = 0,01], and FTO [p = 0,02]. Our findings support the association between TCF7L2 rs7903146 variant and an increased GDM risk. Results about the investigated genetic variants provide important information about cardiometabolic risk in GDM and help to plan future prevention studies.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated that gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) share common genetic polymorphisms. We conducted meta-analysis and subgroup analysis of all available variants and determined the effects of confounding and experimental components on the genetic association of GDM. Any case-controlled or cohort studies with genotype distribution compared GDM cases with controls were included. In total, 28 articles including 8,204 cases and 15,221 controls for 6 polymorphisms were studied. rs10830963(MTNR1B), rs7903146(TCF7L2), and rs1801278(IRS1) were significantly associated with the increased GDM risk. The association of rs4402960(IGF2BP2) and rs1800629(TNF-α) was significant only when the studies with control allele frequency deviation and publication bias were excluded. Further subgroup analysis showed the risk alleles of rs7903146(TCF7L2) and rs1801282(PPARG) were significantly associated with the GDM risk only in Asian, but not in Caucasian population. The OGTT test using 100 g, but not 75 g; and genotype detection by other assays, but not Taqman method, were also significantly associated with increased GDM risk in rs1801278(IRS1) and rs7903146(TCF7L2). Overall GDM was associated with rs10830963(MTNR1B), rs7903146(TCF7L2), and rs1801278(IRS1), but only rs7903146(TCF7L2) and rs1801282(PPARG) were significant in Asian populations. While rs1801278(IRS1) and rs7903146(TCF7L2) were significantly affected by OGTT protocol and genotyping methods.

Abstract
Background There are racial and ethnic differences in the prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Prior meta-analyses included small samples and very limited non-Caucasian populations. Studies to determine the relationship between transcription factor 7 like-2 (TCF7L2) rs7903146 polymorphism and risk of GDM in Hispanics/Latinos are recently available. The present meta-analysis was to estimate the impact of allele variants of TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism on GDM susceptibility in overall population and racial/ethnic subgroups. Methods Literature was searched in multiple databases including PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE (Ovid SP), Airiti Library, Medline Complete, and ProQuest up to July 2015. Allelic frequency for TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism in GDM and control subjects was extracted and statistical analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis (CMA) 2.0 statistical software. The association between TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism and GDM risk was assessed by pooled odd ratios (ORs) using five gene models (dominant, recessive, homozygote, heterozygote, and allele). Stratified analysis based on race/ethnicity was also conducted. The between-study heterogeneity and contribution of each single study to the final result was tested by Cochran Q test and sensitivity analyses, respectively. Publication bias was evaluated using Egger’s linear regression test. Results A total of 16 studies involving 4,853 cases and 10,631 controls were included in this meta-analysis. Significant association between the T-allele of rs7903146 and GDM risk was observed under all genetic models, dominant model (OR = 1.44, 95% CI = 1.19–1.74), recessive model (OR = 1.35, 95% CI = 1.08–1.70), heterozygous model (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.12–1.53), homozygous model (OR = 1.67, 95% CI = 1.31–2.12), and allele model (OR = 1.31, 95% CI = 1.12–1.53). Stratified analysis by race/ethnicity showed a statistically significant association between rs7903146 polymorphism and susceptibility to GDM under homozygous genetic model (TT versus CC) among whites, Hispanics/Latinos and Asians. Sensitivity analysis showed that the overall findings were robust to potentially influential decisions of the 16 studies included. No significant evidence for publication bias was observed in this meta-analysis for overall studies and subgroup studies. Conclusions This meta-analysis showed that the T allele of TCF7L2 rs7903146 polymorphism was associated with susceptibility of GDM in overall population in white, Hispanic/Latino and Asian sub-groups. Asians with homozygous TT allele of rs7903146 polymorphism have highest risk of GDM (OR = 2.08) followed by Hispanics/Latinos (OR = 1.80) and whites (OR = 1.51). The highest and lowest frequency of T allele of rs7903146 was found in Malaysia and South Korea, respectively. Future studies are needed to profile genetic risk for GDM among high risk Asian and Pacific Islander subgroups.

Abstract
First intron variability of the fat mass and obesity associated gene (FTO) has strong impact on adiposity. We focused on lean women carrying the most “obesity-risk” haplotype to study their anthropometric parameters and hormonal and metabolic profile. Genotype-phenotype correlation was performed in a group of 172 lean women (body mass index (BMI) 18.5 and 25 kg/m2; age 26.8±7.26 years), 77 of them used hormonal contraceptives. Even in lean women the association of the risk haplotype CAGA with BMI was confirmed but it did not influence the anthropometric indices of body composition. CAGA carriers compared to non-carriers had significantly higher both fasting (p=0.016) and post glucose load (p<0.001) levels of growth hormone (GH), significantly higher glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels in the late phase of oGTT and lower fasting concentration of total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol. Administration of hormonal contraceptives further increased observed hormonal and metabolic effects in CAGA carriers. We conclude that higher levels of GH in lean women carrying the FTO “obesity risk” haplotype could protect them from the development of obesity. The relation between the FTO gene variability and GH secretion has to be elucidated. This is the first study demonstrating the interaction of FTO genotype with hormonal contraception.

Abstract
The present systematic review and meta-analysis of case-control studies examines the associations between rs7903146 and rs12255372 polymorphisms of the TCF7L2 gene and PCOS. A search of the literature published until August 2014 was carried out in PubMed, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, EMBASE, and LILACS. There were no other limits except for the end date. We included observational studies with women of any age diagnosed with PCOS and healthy controls that analyzed polymorphisms rs7903146 and rs12255372. We included case-control or cross-sectional studies analyzing polymorphism rs7903146 or rs12255372 in women with PCOS and healthy controls. Eighteen studies were identified after the primary literature search and seven articles were included in the meta-analysis. All employed Rotterdam criteria for the diagnosis of PCOS. The genotypic distributions in the control groups were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in all studies. The pooled population included Asian descendents (Chinese, Korean), Caucasians from southern Brazil, Tunisian, and European populations (British/Irish, Northern Finns, Greeks, Czechs), including 1,892 women with PCOS and 2,695 controls. There were no significant associations between PCOS and TCF7L2 rs7903146 or rs12255372 polymorphisms, irrespective of whether allele contrast, additive, dominant, or recessive models of inheritance were used. Furthermore, no significant associations were found after stratification for ethnicity (Asian or non-Asian). There was no significant heterogeneity between studies and no publication bias. The present results suggest that rs7903146 T allele or rs12255372 is not associated with risk for PCOS in non-Asian or Asian women. This systematic review and meta-analysis are registered in PROSPERO under number CRD42013005930.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study examined the association in a South Indian population with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) of type 2 diabetes risk variants that have previously conferred susceptibility to GDM in other populations. SUBJECTS AND METHODS The study groups comprised 518 women with GDM and 910 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). Women with GDM were recruited from a tertiary diabetes center in Chennai, in south India, and NGT women were selected from antenatal clinics also in Chennai. Genomic DNA was isolated from whole blood using the phenol chloroform method. Twelve previously reported GDM-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in or near nine loci were genotyped using the MassARRAY™ system (Sequenom, San Diego, CA). RESULTS Among the 12 SNPs genotyped, 11 SNPs were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium and had a call rate of >95%. Of the 11 SNPs previously associated with GDM in other populations, significant association was observed only with the rs7754840 and rs7756992 SNPs of the CDK5 regulatory subunit associated protein 1-like 1 (CDKAL1) gene in this population. The minor alleles of the SNPs rs7754840 and rs7756992 showed significant susceptibility to GDM with an odds ratio of 1.34 (95% confidence interval, 1.12-1.60; P = 0.0013) and 1.45 (95% confidence interval, 1.21-1.72; P = 0.00004), respectively. CONCLUSIONS The rs7754840 and rs7756992 SNPs of the CDKAL1 gene were found to be associated with GDM in this south Indian population. This is the first study describing genetic susceptibility of GDM in Asian Indians.

Abstract
Background To study the relationship between the rs12255372 (G/T) polymorphism of the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a Cameroonian population. Methods This case–control study included 60 T2DM patients and 60 healthy normoglycemic controls, all unrelated and of Cameroonian origin, aged above 40 years (range 40–87). The Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism - Polymerase Chain Reaction (RFLP-PCR) was used for genotyping. Results The T allele frequency was significantly higher in the diabetic group (0.44) than in the control group (0.17). This allele was significantly associated to a greater risk of developing T2DM as compared to the G allele (OR = 3.92, 95% CI 2.04 – 7.67, p < 0.0001). The codominant (additive) model explained best the risk of developing the disease, as the TT genotype was significantly associated to T2DM when compared to the GG genotype (OR = 4.45, 95% CI 1.64 – 12.83, p = 0.0014). By logistic regression adjusted for age, this OR was 4.33 (95% CI: 1.57 – 11.92, p = 0.005). Conclusion Our findings suggest that the rs12255372 (G/T) polymorphism of the TCF7L2 gene is an important risk factor for T2DM in the Cameroonian population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the relationships between genetic polymorphisms in the TCF7L2 gene and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) risk. METHODS The PubMed, Centralised Information Service for Complementary Medicine (CISCOM), Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Web of Science, Google Scholar, EBSCO, Cochrane Library, and Common Biorepository Model (CBM) databases were searched for relevant articles published before November 1st, 2013, without language restrictions. Meta-analysis was conducted using the STATA 12.0 software. The relationships were evaluated by calculating the pooled odds ratios (ORs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Seven case-control studies with a total 2458 PCOS patients and 5109 healthy subjects' met our inclusion criteria for qualitative data analysis. Two common polymorphisms (rs7903146 C→T and rs12255372 G→T) in the TCF7L2 gene were assessed. RESULTS The results of our meta-analysis suggested that TCF7L2 genetic polymorphisms might be strongly correlated with an increased risk of PCOS (allele model, OR=1.33, 95% CI=1.15-1.54, P<0.001; dominant model, OR=1.40, 95% CI=1.12-1.75, P=0.003), especially for the rs7903146 C→T polymorphism. A subgroup analysis was done to investigate the effect of ethnicity on an individual's risk of PCOS. Our results revealed positive significant correlations between TCF7L2 genetic polymorphisms and an increased risk of PCOS among Caucasians (allele model, OR=1.26, 95% CI=1.08-1.47, P=0.004; dominant model, OR=1.33, 95% CI=1.00-1.76, P=0.046) and Asians (allele model, OR=2.02, 95% CI=1.42-2.89, P<0.001; dominant model, OR=2.02, 95% CI=1.40-2.92, P<0.001), but not among Africans (all P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS Our findings provide convincing evidence that TCF7L2 genetic polymorphisms may contribute to susceptibility to PCOS, especially for the rs7903146 C→T polymorphism among Caucasians and Asians.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether TCF7L2 single nucleotide polymorphisms rs7903146 C/T and rs11196236 C/T are associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in South Brazilian women. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. METHODS Two hundred PCOS patients and 102 non-hirsute, ovulatory controls were genotyped by real-time PCR. Haplotypes were constructed from the combination of both polymorphisms. Frequencies were inferred using the PHASE 2.1.1 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS The distribution of rs7903146 (PCOS, 54.4% CC; 28.5% CT; 17.1% TT; controls, 51.0% CC; 37.0% CT; 12.0% TT) and rs11196236 (PCOS, 4.3% CC; 33.5% CT; 62.2% TT; controls, 3.2% CC; 35.5% CT; 61.3% TT) was similar between the groups. rs7903146 and rs11196236 were not in linkage disequilibrium (|D'|=0.34; r(2)=0.07). PCOS participants were younger, with higher age-adjusted BMI, waist circumference, blood pressure, triglycerides, insulin, homeostasis model assessment index to estimate insulin resistance and total testosterone, and lower HDL-C and sex hormone binding globulin vs controls. In PCOS, no differences between genotypes and haplotypes were found for clinical and metabolic variables. However, for each T (rs7903146) and T (rs11196236) allele added to the haplotypes, a variation of 5.87 cm in waist (P trend=0.01), 10.7 mg/dl in total cholesterol (P trend=0.03), and 10.3 mg/dl in LDL-C (P trend=0.01) was recorded. TCF7L2 variants are probably not implicated in PCOS development in South Brazilian women.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that affects women in their child-bearing age, and is often associated with insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Given the overlap between PCOS and T2DM, we investigated the association of transcription factor-7-like 2 (TCF7L2) variants rs4506565, rs7903146, rs12243326, and rs12255372 with the susceptibility to PCOS. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Study subjects comprised 119 Tunisian women with PCOS (mean age 29.8±4.7years), and 150 control women (mean age 30.6±5.9years). TCF7L2 genotyping was done by the allelic discrimination/real-time PCR method. RESULTS Minor allele frequencies (MAFs) of rs4506565 (P=0.61), rs7903146 (P=0.68), rs12243326 (P=0.56), and rs12255372 (P=0.60) were comparable between PCOS cases and control subjects. As the four tested TCF7L2 variants were in linkage disequilibrium, 4-locus (rs4506565, rs7903146, rs12243326, rs12255372) haplotype analysis demonstrated that haplotype 2111 was initially negatively associated with PCOS [P=0.035; OR (95% CI)=0.13 (0.02-0.85)], which was later lost upon correcting for multiple comparisons [Pc=0.248]. CONCLUSION Our data suggest that there is weak or no contribution of TCF7L2 gene polymorphism to PCOS in Tunisian women. Further studies with larger samples are necessary to confirm this observation.

Abstract
A meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between the transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2) gene polymorphism rs7903146 (IVS3C > T) and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all case-control or cohort design studies of the above-mentioned associations. The fixed or random effect pooled measure was selected on the basis of homogeneity test among studies. Heterogeneity among studies was evaluated using the I(2). Meta-regression was used to explore the potential sources of between-study heterogeneity. Publication bias was estimated using Egger's linear regression test. A total of 10 studies including 3404 cases and 6473 controls were involved in this meta-analysis. Overall, after excluding articles that deviated from HWE in controls, and further the key contributors to between-study heterogeneity, significant associations between TCF7L2 rs7903146 genetic polymorphism and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus were observed in the dominant (OR 1.653, 95% CI 1.416-1.930) and codominant (OR 1.525, 95% CI 1.350-1.723) models. The meta-analysis suggests that TCF7L2 rs7903146 genetic polymorphism was associated with increased risk of gestational diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several studies have examined associations between genetic variants and the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). However, inferences from these studies were often hindered by limited statistical power and conflicting results. We aimed to systematically review and quantitatively summarize the association of commonly studied single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with GDM risk and to identify important gaps that remain for consideration in future studies. METHODS Genetic association studies of GDM published through 1 October 2012 were searched using the HuGE Navigator and PubMed databases. A SNP was included if the SNP-GDM associations were assessed in three or more independent studies. Two reviewers independently evaluated the eligibility for inclusion and extracted the data. The allele-specific odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were pooled using random effects models accounting for heterogeneity. RESULTS Overall, 29 eligible articles capturing associations of 12 SNPs from 10 genes were included for the systematic review. The minor alleles of rs7903146 (TCF7L2), rs12255372 (TCF7L2), rs1799884 (-30G/A, GCK), rs5219 (E23K, KCNJ11), rs7754840 (CDKAL1), rs4402960 (IGF2BP2), rs10830963 (MTNR1B), rs1387153 (MTNR1B) and rs1801278 (Gly972Arg, IRS1) were significantly associated with a higher risk of GDM. Among them, genetic variants in TCF7L2 showed the strongest association with GDM risk, with ORs (95% CIs) of 1.44 (1.29-1.60, P < 0.001) per T allele of rs7903146 and 1.46 (1.15-1.84, P = 0.002) per T allele of rs12255372. CONCLUSIONS In this systematic review, we found significant associations of GDM risk with nine SNPs in seven genes, most of which have been related to the regulation of insulin secretion.
