INS and gestational diabetes: Furthermore, miRNA profiles of peripheral blood mononuclear cells isolated from Brazilian GDM women, obtained by using microarray platforms, have identified ten miRNA that seemed to be specific for GDM, namely, miR-101, miR-1180, miR-1268, miR-181a, miR-181d, miR-26a, miR-29a, miR-29c, miR-30b and miR-595(67).The target genes of most of these miRNA are involved in insulin signalling, angiogenesis, IR and AT dysfunction(66).
