Abstract:
Gestational diabetes mellitus poses a substantial threat to the short- and long-term health of women and their offspring. Previous studies have identified a number of genetic risk factors for gestational diabetes through candidate gene strategy and whole genome studies. Many of these identified genetic variations have also been proved to be associated with type 2 diabetes, abnormal glycometabolism as well as insulin secretion and resistance. This article reviews the recent progress in the genetic epidemiology of gestational diabetes mellitus.
