Abstract

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that play critical roles in regulating host gene expression. Recent studies have indicated a role of miRNAs in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), a common pregnancy-related disorder characterized by impaired glucose metabolism. Aberrant expression of miRNAs has been observed in the placenta and/or maternal blood of GDM patients, suggesting their potential use as biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis. Additionally, several miRNAs have been shown to modulate key signaling pathways involved in glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity, and inflammation, providing insights into the pathophysiology of GDM. This review summarizes the current knowledge on the dynamics of miRNA in pregnancy, their role in GDM as well as their potential as diagnostic and therapeutic targets.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
