▪GDM-related genetic mutations:-Genetic mutations in some specific genes are related to the development of GDM, such as the following genes: transcription factor 7-like 2 (TCF7L2), CDKAL1, Transcription factor 2 (TCF2), Fat mass- and obesity-associated gene (FTO), CDKN2A/2B, HHEX, Insulin-like growth factor 2 MRNA binding protein 2, Solute carrier family 30 member 8 gene (IGF2BP2), and SCL30A8.-Some women, although uncommon among pregnant women with GDM, have genetic variants that are monogenic forms of diabetes, including genes for subtypes maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY). This evidence concerns the gene TCF7L2 and obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
