Özet

Introduction: In this study, we seek to determine the association between the polymorphism of the ADIPOQ (rs1501299) gene

and adiponectin levels in gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) patients.

Methods: The study participants included 200 pregnant women, 100 healthy subjects as the control group, and 100 having GDM

as the case group. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to examine adiponectin levels. The polymerase

chain reaction-restriction length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) was also used for genotyping examination.

Results: Findings showed that GDM patients had significantly lower serum adiponectin levels (p=0.001). The T/T genotype homozygotes

prevalence for rs1501299 polymorphism was significantly lower in GDM patients. (p=0.047).

Conclusion: Low serum adiponectin levels are associated with GDM. The T allele of the rs1501299 (+276 G/T) polymorphism of

the ADIPOQ gene protects against GDM.
