Figure 4 Genetic loci associated with gestational diabetes mellitus and their mechanistic roles in disease pathogenesis.
This diagram maps the key gestational diabetes mellitus-associated genes to their molecular functions. MTNR1B and IRS-1 regulate glucose metabolism and insulin signaling. CDKAL1 and TCF7 L2 impair β-cell proliferation and insulin synthesis. Obesity-related genes such as FTO and APOA5 contribute to gestational weight gain and metabolic dysregulation, reinforcing the polygenic basis of gestational diabetes mellitus. GDM: Gestational diabetes mellitus; T2DM: Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
