PMID: 31237608Gestational diabetes (GDM) is associated with impaired beta-cell function in the offspring and this leads to increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (1). However, the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. GDM exposure may alter islet gene expression and function in the fetus. Impai...
