- dc.description.abstract Aim: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) has been linked with adverse long-term health outcomes for the fetus and mother. These effects may be mediated by epigenetic modifications. Materials & methods: Genome-wide RNA sequencing was performed in placental tissue and maternal blood in six GDM and six non-GDM pregnancies. Promoter region DNA methylation was examined for selected genes and correlated with gene expression to examine an epigenetic modulator mechanism. Results: Reductions of mRNA expression and increases in promoter methylation were observed for G6PD in GDM women, and for genes encoding IGF-binding proteins in GDM-exposed placenta. Conclusion: GDM involves epigenetic attenuation of G6PD, which may lead to hyperglycemia and oxidative stress, and the IGF-axis, which may modulate fetal macrosomia.
