Article Synopsis
- Pregnancy causes significant changes in glucose metabolism, leading to increased insulin resistance and higher insulin secretion to regulate blood sugar levels.
- Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects about 14% of pregnancies worldwide and can result in serious health issues for both mothers and their babies.
- The review emphasizes the importance of studying genetic factors influencing GDM and calls for more collaborative research with diverse pregnancy cohorts to enhance prevention and treatment approaches.

Article Synopsis
- The study explores the potential negative impacts of coffee consumption during pregnancy on outcomes like miscarriage, stillbirth, birthweight, gestational age, and pre-term birth using a Mendelian randomization approach.
- Findings from both a two-sample Mendelian randomization and a one-sample genetic risk score analysis indicated no significant links between coffee consumption and adverse pregnancy outcomes like miscarriages or stillbirths.
- However, there was some inconsistent evidence suggesting that increased coffee intake may be associated with slightly higher birthweights, though the overall conclusion is that coffee may not negatively affect pregnancy outcomes.
