The covariates in these linear regression analyses were maternal age, prepregnancy BMI, and weekly BMI growth. BG# is the abbreviation for blood glucose.p value was less than 0.004, which was α after Bonferroni correction (α=0.05/14=0.004); fourteen SNPs were included in the analyses. § meant that the p value was less than 0.001, which was α after stringent Bonferroni correction (α=0.05/(143)=0.001); three genetic models of each SNP have been analysed.
