<p>Associations Between Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Risk and Folate Status in Early Pregnancy and <em>MTHFR</em> C677T Polymorphisms in Chinese Women</p>

Abstract: Red blood cell (RBC) folate indicates long-term folate intake, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene is the main gene affecting folate status. Increasing evidence suggests an association between gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and increased folate levels. Whether RBC folate concentrations in the first trimester of pregnancy or polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T (rs1801133) affect GDM risk in Chinese pregnant women remains unknown. Therefore, we analyzed the associations of RBC folate concentration… Show more

“…In the end, 17 studies met the selection criteria, 5 of which (Cheng et al., 2019; Huang et al., 2019; Li, Li, et al., 2019; Zhu et al., 2016) used FA supplement or intake instead of folate level as the standard of maternal folate status (Table S1). Therefore, we only included the remaining 12 studies (Barzilay et al., 2018; Berglund et al., 2016; Guven & Cetinkaya, 2005; Idzior‐Waluś et al., 2008; Krishnaveni et al., 2009; Lai et al., 2018; Li, Hou, et al., 2019; Liu et al., 2020; Seghieri et al., 2003; Sukumar et al., 2016; Tarim et al., 2004; Xie et al., 2019) for qualitative and quantitative (meta‐analysis) synthesis.…”

“… 36 These polymorphisms are widely studied during metabolic disease, 37–39 and has been associated with insulin resistance, 40 and an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, 41 , 42 T2D 43 and major depressive disorder 44 in South African populations. Recently, the MTHFR rs1801133 polymorphism has been linked to higher folate concentrations in early pregnancy and an increased risk of developing GDM in Chinese women, 45 and has been associated with GDM-related pregnancy complications such as gestational hypertension, pre-eclampsia and intrauterine fetal growth restriction. 46 , 47 …”

“…Out of the 9 studies included in this review, 6 supported the association between increased folic acid intake and the development of GDM during pregnancy, 2 showed an inverse relation between folate supplementation and GDM risk, while just one found no association at all when several factors were adjusted for, including genetics [21]. However, in the last study, the sample size was small compared to others (n = 336), and it focused on one ethnicity in China.…”

“…Supplementation Finally, one cohort study found no statistical significance between GDM and folic acid supplementation after adjustment for rs1801133 polymorphisms [21]. Higher RBC folate, partly caused by MTHFR 677C  T, may be associated with increased GDM risk, even in early pregnancy; participants with the TT genotype had the highest RBC folate concentrations.…”
