“…The placenta expresses more than 500 miRNA species [ 22 , 23 ] attributable in part by two placenta expressed miRNA clusters; the chromosome 19 and 14 miRNA clusters; C19MC and C14MC, respectively. Dysregulated placenta-associated miRNAs [ 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ] as well as altered circulating miRNA profiles [ 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 ] have been associated with GDM, mirroring physiological and pathological changes during pregnancy.…”
