Increasing prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus when carrying the T variant allele of the MTHFR gene C677T polymorphism: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Previous epidemiological data linking the C677T and A1298C MTHFR polymorphisms to gestational diabetes risk have been mixed and controversial. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to derive a more precise e...
