DNA Methylation Biomarkers Predict Offspring Metabolic Risk From Mothers With Hyperglycemia in Pregnancy
20 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Gestational diabetes mellitus affects almost 18 million pregnancies worldwide, increasing by >70% in the past 20 years. DNA methylation has been associated with maternal hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes risk in offspring. This study hypothesized that hyperglycemia during pregnancy influences DNA methylation changes at birth that mediate metabolic risk in offspring. Cord blood samples (n = 112) were obtained from...
