Recently, Lauenborg et al. analyzed 11 genes associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (TCF7L2, CDKAL1, SLC30A8, HHEX-IDE CDKN2A/2B, IGF2BP2, FTO, TCF2, PPARγ, WFS1, and KCNJ11) in the group of 283 women with a history of GDM. This evidence concerns the gene HNF1B and gestational diabetes.
