Autoimmune diseases and risk of gestational diabetes mellitus: a Mendelian randomization study

ConclusionThis two-sample MR study found that both SLE and RA are positively associated with the risk of GDM. Our findings provide help for the future prevention and treatment of GDM to reduce associated maternal and fetal complications. However, more research is needed to obviate the role of the GC and the HCQ to ensure this relationship is causal.
