Pregnant women with gestational diabetes had significantly higher IL-6 levels, indicating a stronger inflammatory response.
The IL-6 SNP rs1800796 was linked to increased gestational diabetes risk with an odds ratio of 1.41, highlighting genetic influence.
Blood samples from 162 pregnant women helped assess levels of critical inflammatory markers and perform genotyping on specific SNPs.
Findings suggest inflammation may contribute to gestational diabetes complications, though the association with genetic variants was weak.
