Furthermore, differential methylation of the five CpG loci, within SLC93A was positively correlated with fasting and 1 h glucose, while CpGs within CAMTA, MEA1;KLHDC3 and RASA3 was inversely correlated to fasting glucose, with distinct methylation profiles in GDM and non-GDM groups. The gene discussed is MEA1; the disease is gestational diabetes.
