We did not confirm associations with GDM of loci connected to GDM elsewhere, including variants in the HKDC1 (rs10762264), GCK (rs1799884), KCNJ11 (rs5219), IGF2BP2 (rs4402960), TCF7L2 (rs7903146), CDKAL1 (rs7754840), FTO (rs9939609) and IRS1 (rs1801278). This evidence concerns the gene HKDC1 and gestational diabetes.
