Genetic and epigenetic changes in diabetic pregnancy complicated or uncomplicated with preeclampsia
Abstract
Nowadays, the increasing prevalence of obesity today seems to have a negative impact on the gestational period, leading more and more pregnant patients to develop complications such as Gestational Diabetes or Preeclampsia, which is a serious hypertensive disorder of pregnancy. Epigenetic modifications that modulate gene regulation are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of gestational diabetes mellitus, and in addition, epigenetic alterations are thought to play a role in mediating pregnancy-related complications, such as preeclampsia. Having investigated epigenetic mechanisms, such as the change in the methylation status of the DNA of the promoter of the genes involved in inflammation and therefore the modification of gene expression during pregnancy, we came to specific conclusions. The most important of these were the following: Regarding preeclampsia, the IL15 and IL17RA genes were found to be significantly hypermethylated in patients with preeclampsia compared with healthy ...
