GCKR and gestational diabetes: Additionally, fasting glucose (beta ± SE = 2.519 ± 0.248, p = 2.58 × 10−24), triglycerides (beta ± SE = 0.163 ± 0.050, p = 1.08 × 10−3), and BMI (beta ± SE = 0.522 ± 0.067, p = 9.65 × 10−15) were all positively correlated with the risk of GDM after adjustment for circulating GCKR, indicating that the associations among these metabolic traits and the risk of GDM were independent of GCKR (Table 2).
