Gracelyn et al conducted a cross-sectional hospital-based study regarding the prevalence and significant risk factors of gestational diabetes mellitus in South Indian women.1 This study is important at this time because of the high frequency of gestational diabetes in South Asian ethnic groups especially in South Indian women.

Background: Pregnancy induced thyroid disorders, gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and gestational hypertension are common problems in women with gestational period. Published literate shows wide range of prevalence in pregnancy induced disorders in other states of India, and as of now the exact prevalence in our study population is not studied. Hence, there present study was aimed to know the prevalence of pregnancy induced disorders in pregnant women in South Indian population.Methods: A total of 120 subjects were followed-up at the time of recruitment to entire gestational period. Standard guidelines were followed for the assessment of thyroid hormone levels, glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and blood pressure values at different intervals and positions. Apart from detailed clinical history has been taken and routine basic and obstetrical investigations were done.Results: Prevalence of thyroid dysfunction (15.0%), gestational diabetes mellitus (11.7%) and gestational hypertension (9.2%) was reported in the present study population. Subclinical hypothyroidism was highest prevalence amount thyroid disorders. Gestational diabetes subjects have mean blood glucose levels of 230.68±17.48 mg/dL with OGTT test. Gestational hypertensive patients had SBP of 152.4±10.8 and DBP of 96.6±6.4; pre-hypertensive subjects had SBP of 134.2±5.48 and DBP of 6.8±4.6 respectively.Conclusions: Our study findings were slightly higher than normal prevalence’s which are reported earlier by various authors. We suggested that early screening, diagnosis and treatment are warranted for the prevention of maternal and fetal complications in Indian population.

To clarify the effect of retinoid X receptor-a/g (RXR-α/γ) genes functional genetic variants (RXR-α rs4842194 G>A, RXR-γ rs100537 A>G and rs2134095 T>C) on the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a case-control study with 573 GDM patients and 740 pregnant women with normal glucose tolerance was performed in Guangxi area of China. An odds ratio (OR) with its corresponding 95%CI was used to assess the strengths of the association between genetic variation and GDM. After adjustment of age and pre-BMI, the logistic regression analysis showed that the rs2134095 was significantly associated with GDM risk (CC vs. TT/TC: adjusted OR=0.71, 95%CI=0.56~0.90) in all subjects, and this result remained highly significant after Bonferroni’s correction for multiple testing (P=0.004). The stratified analysis showed that rs2134095 was significantly associated with the risk of GDM among age>30 years (adjusted OR=0.61, 95%CI=0.39~0.97), BMI>22 kg/m2 (adjusted OR=0.46, 95%CI= 0.30~0.70), SBP>120mmHg (adjusted OR=1.96, 95%CI= 1.14~3.36), HbA1c<6.5%(adjusted OR=1.41, 95%CI=1.11~1.78), TG≤1.7mmol/L(adjusted OR=2.57,95%CI=1.45~4.53), TC≤ 5.18mmol/L (adjusted OR=1.58, 95%CI=1.13~2.22), HDL-c≤1.5mmol/L(adjusted OR=1.70, 95%CI= 1.16~2.49) and LDL-c> 3.12 mmol/L(adjusted OR= 1.47, 95%CI= 1.08~2.00) subjects, under the recessive genetic model. We also found that rs2134095 interacted with age (Pinteraction=0.039), pre-BMI (Pinteraction=0.040) and TG (Pinteraction=0.025) influencing individual's genetic susceptibility to GDM. The rs2134095 T>C is significantly associated with the risk of GDM by effect of a single locus and / or complex joint gene-gene and gene-environment interactions. Larger sample-size and different population studies are required to confirm the findings.
