Patent ID: 11085082

Abstract:
Provided is a method of assessing Gestational Diabetes Mellitus (GDM) susceptibility in a female human subject, the method comprising determining the identity of at least one allele at each of at least two positions of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) selected from: TCF7L2—rs7903146; IGF2BP2—rs4402960; CDKN2A/B—rs10811661; SLC16A11—rs13342232; FTO—rs8050136; SLC30A8—rs13266634; CDC123/CAMK1D—rs12779790; KCNQ1—rs2237892; CUBN—rs11254363; CUBN—rs1801222; FIGN—rs2119289; FIGN—rs982393; MTHFR—rs1801131; MTHFR—rs1801133; MTR—rs1805087; and SLC19A1—rs1051266, and/or an SNP in linkage disequilibrium therewith at r2>0.8. Also provided are genotyping tools and risk assessment systems for use in the method of assessing GDM susceptibility.
