Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a complex and increasingly prevalent condition that poses significant challenges to maternal fetal health, as well public healthcare costs. In this special issue, we present collection of studies highlighting innovative approaches GDM management. These include the use technology, such integrated bioinformatics analysis data-driven clusters, insights into pathophysiology risk factors.GDM defined glucose intolerance develops during pregnancy, typically diagnosed second or third trimester. The current prevalence in Europe estimated be around 10.9% based on recent meta-analysis (1). Rates are rising globally, partly explained by increasing obesity age. International association pregnancy study groups recommendations diagnosis classification hyperglycemia (IADPSG) suggest diagnostic criteria: fasting plasma (FPG) ≥5.1 mmol/L (92 mg/dL); 1-hour ≥10.0 (180 mg/dL) and/or 2-hour ≥8.5 (153 75 g oral tolerance test (2).

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) poses a significant global health concern, impacting both maternal and fetal well-being. Early detection treatment are imperative to mitigate adverse outcomes during pregnancy. This review delves into the pivotal role of insulin function influence genetic variants, including SLC30A8, CDKAL1, TCF7L2, IRS1, GCK, in GDM development. These variations affect beta-cell activity crucial tissues, such as muscle, disrupting glucose regulation We propose hypothesis that this variation may disrupt zinc transport, consequently impairing production secretion, thereby contributing onset. Furthermore, we discussed involvement inflammatory pathways, TNF-alpha IL-6, predisposing individuals GDM. Genetic modulation these pathways exacerbate metabolism dysregulation observed patients. also how affects cardiovascular disease (CVD) through direct correlation between pregnancy cardiometabolic function, increasing atherosclerosis, decreased vascular dyslipidemia, hypertension women with history. However, further research is unravel intricate interplay genetics, understanding for devising targeted gene therapies pharmacological interventions rectify other pertinent genes.
