2. Overview of presentation
• What is GDM
• Pathogenesis of GDM
• Importance of GDM
• Genetics of GDM
• Scope of Genetic study in BSMMU
• Principles of genetic study

4. Definition
• Any degree of glucose intolerance with onset
or first recognition during pregnancy
• Whether or not the condition persisted after
pregnancy
• Not excluding the possibility that
unrecognized glucose intolerance may have
antedated or begun concomitantly with the
pregnancy
4
6. To overcome the limitation
• Screen women with risk factors for type 2
diabetes for diabetes at their initial prenatal
visit, using standard diagnostic criteria
• Women with diabetes found at this visit
should receive a diagnosis of overt, not
gestational, diabetes
6
7. Diagnostic criteria
• Still much controversies
• ADA 2013
• When any of the following plasma glucose
values are exceeded –
– Fasting ≥ 5.1 mmol/L
– 1h ≥ 10.0 mmol/L
– 2h ≥ 8.5 mmol/L

9. Hormone & fuel balance in pregnancy
• Early pregnancy
– Prepare the mother
– Accentuation of fat deposition
– Expansion of β cell mass
– α cells remain unchanged
9
10. Hormone & fuel balance in pregnancy
• As the pregnancy progresses
– Increasing insulin resistance (50%)
– Increased insulin production from the previously
expanded cells (threefold)
– Increased lipolysis in adipose tissue leads to a shift
toward fatty acid utilization by maternal tissues

14. Prevalence
• Reflects prevalence of type 2 DM in
population
• GDM affects 3% to 15% of pregnancies
• In Bangladesh, a pilot study done in a tertiary
care hospital showed that the prevalence of
GDM was 7.8%
• >30% in GDM study, BSMMU
15
17. Heritability of GDM
• Positive family history (45.1% in GDM study,
BSMMU)
• Both GDM women and their offspring are at
increased risk of future development of T2DM
• It can be hypothesized that GDM and type 2
diabetes share a common genetic background
• It is not known whether there are genetic risk
loci specific to GDM
18
25. Scope of GDM study, BSMMU
• To investigate whether the candidate genes
that confer susceptibility to T2DM are also
correlated with GDM in pregnant Bangladeshi
women.
