Type 2 diabetes linked FTO gene variant rs8050136 is significantly associated with gravidity in gestational diabetes in a sample of Bangladeshi women: Meta-analysis and case-control study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing public health concern that has not been extensively studied. Numerous studies have indicated that a variant (rs8050136) of the fat mass-associated gene, FTO, is associated with both GDM and Type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). We conducted a meta-analysis on the association between the FTO single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs8050136 and T2DM, followed by a case-control study on the association of the said SNP and GDM in a sample of Bangladeshi women. METHOD: A total of 25 studies were selected after exploring various databases and search engines, which were assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The MetaGenyo web tool was used to conduct this meta-analysis. A case-control study was performed on 218 GDM patients and 284 controls to observe any association between FTO rs8050136 and GDM. Genotyping was performed using the tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction (T-ARMS) method, and statistical analyses were performed using various statistical softwares. RESULTS: In the meta-analysis 26231 cases and 43839 controls were examined. Pooled association analyses revealed a statistically significant relationship between the FTO rs8050136 polymorphism and an elevated risk of T2DM under all genetic models (P<0.05). In the case-control study, synergistic analyses of the SNP and gravida with GDM revealed a significant (P<0.01) association with an increase in odds by 1.6 to 2.4 folds in multigravida and decrease in odds by 2 folds in primigravida. A positive family history of diabetes and the minor allele of this SNP collectively increased the risk of developing GDM by many-fold (1.8 to 2.7 folds). However, after accounting for family history of diabetes and gravidity, analyses showed no significant association with GDM. CONCLUSION: Our meta-analysis revealed a significant association between SNP rs8050136 of FTO with T2DM, and this variant was substantially associated with an increased risk of GDM in a sample of Bangladeshi multigravida women.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
