Association Analysis Between -308G/A and -238G/A TNF-Alpha Gene Promoter Polymorphisms and Insulin Resistance in Mexican Women With Gestational Diabetes Mellitus.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is characterized by insulin resistance. It has been described that tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) plays a key role in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance; moreover, increased levels of this proinflammatory cytokine have been reported in women with GDM. Therefore, this study was aimed to assess the presence of associations between the -308G/A and -238G/A polymorphisms and specific haplotypes of the TNF-α gene promoter region and insulin resistance in Mexican women with GDM

Association of interleukin-6 haplotypes, obesity, and metabolic abnormalities in a population of central Mexico

"We undertook this study to determine the relationship among -174G>C and 598G>A polymorphisms in the promoter region of interleukin-6, obesity, and metabolic abnormalities in subjects from central Mexico"

The genomic landscape of Mexican Indigenous populations brings insights into the peopling of the Americas

Indigenous populations, including in those in Mexico are underrepresented in genetic studies. Here, the authors perform a population genetics study of indigenous peoples in Mexico to explore demographic histories of the region in the context of geography and cultural influences
