Association between Gene Polymorphisms of Vitamin D Receptor and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: Studies on the association between Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and gestational diabetes mellitus have been inconsistent. The aim of this study was to summarize available evidence on the association between polymorphisms of Vitamin D receptor genes and susceptibility to gestational diabetes mellitus. (2) Methods: We searched databases of PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, China national knowledge infrastructure (CNKI), China science and technology journal database (VIP), and Wanfang Data for relevant articles. A systematic review and a meta-analysis were done to compare the distribution of Vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms in gestational diabetes mellitus patients with those in controls using allelic, codominant, dominant, and recessive models. (3) Results: A total
