Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The etiology of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is constituted by both type 2 diabetes (T2D)-dependent and T2D-independent mechanisms. However, existing studies have evaluated the impact of T2D-dependent loci only for GDM, which limits the power to assess to what extent genetic variants or biological pathways are specific to GDM. METHODS: We subtracted the genetic effects of a genome-wide...
