Core Tip	Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a metabolic disorder causing hyperglycemia during pregnancy. GDM is associated with adverse feto-maternal outcomes, type-2-diabetes mellitus (T2DM), GDM-recurrence, future obesity. Insulin-resistance is a physiological trait associated with progressing pregnancy that provides an adequate nutritional supply for the mother and fetus. Disruptions in this mechanism might facilitate onset of GDM. CD36-transmembrane glycoprotein receptor, contributes to fatty-acid absorption. Genetic alterations in CD36 gene can modulate expression of genes along these pathways to mitigate the diabetic effect during pregnancy. The integration of genotyping-expression studies will be crucial for advancing investigation in GDM treatment.
