Imprinting in Metabolic Diseases - Identifying Epigenetic Mechanisms in Human Gestational Diabetes Through Cell-free DNA

This clinical trials aims to investigate the impact of parental metabolism during pregnancy on fetal epigenetic signatures. The metabolic profiles of both parents will be evaluated through a blood sample collected from the father and an oral glucose tolerance test administered to the pregnant mother. Additionally, epigenetic signatures will be assessed using parental blood samples. Fetal epigenetic signatures can be identified by analyzing fetal cell-free DNA that circulates in the mother's bloodstream.
