MC4R and gestational diabetes: MC4R DNA methylation level was lower in newborns of GDM women (CpG1: 2.8% ± 3.0%, CpG2: 3.8% ± 3.3%) as compared to those of mothers without GDM (CpG1: 6.9% ± 6.2%, CpG2: 6.8% ± 5.6%; p < 0.001 and p = 0.0033, respectively), and it was negatively correlated with weight (r = −0.229; p = 0.035), head circumference (r = −0.236; p = 0.030), and length (r = −0.240; p = 0.027) at birth.
