Early identification of at-risk pregnancies is crucial for timely intervention and improved outcomes. Emerging evidence highlights the interplay of genetic predisposition, epigenetic modifications, and non-invasive biomarkers in the early detection of diabetic pregnancies. Genetic factors influencing insulin signaling, glucose metabolism, and pancreatic \u03b2-cell function may contribute to susceptibility to gestational hyperglycemia. Concurrently, epigenetic alterations, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications in maternal and placental tissues, have been linked to dysregulated metabolic pathways and adverse pregnancy outcomes. Non-invasive biomarkers, including circulating cell-free DNA and microRNAs in maternal blood, show promise for early diagnosis by offering a safer and more practical alternative to invasive testing. Integrating genetic, epigenetic, and molecular marker data could enhance risk stratification and enable personalized monitoring and management strategies. This review synthesizes current knowledge on the molecular underpinnings of diabetic pregnancies, evaluates the potential of emerging biomarkers for early diagnosis, and discusses the challenges and future perspectives for translating these findings into clinical practice. Understanding these mechanisms may pave the way for precision medicine approaches, ultimately improving maternal and neonatal outcomes in pregnancies affected by diabetes.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27020919","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]],"date-time":"2026-01-16T14:46:33Z","timestamp":1768574793000},"page":"919","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["The Placenta in Gestational Diabetes: An Integrated Review on Metabolic Pathways, Genetic, Epigenetic and Ultrasound Biomarkers for Clinical Perspectives"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7003-1230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Giovanni","family":"Tossetta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for the Promotion of Human Science and Quality of Life, San Raffaele Roma University, Via di Val Cannuta, 247, 00166 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2607-2734","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Roberto","family":"Campagna","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for the Promotion of Human Science and Quality of Life, San Raffaele Roma University, Via di Val Cannuta, 247, 00166 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2496-7932","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Arianna","family":"Vignini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Section of Biochemistry, Biology and Physics, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica Delle Marche, 60126 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe Maria","family":"Maruotti","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Public Health, University of Naples Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-0812-6716","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mariarosaria","family":"Motta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Public Health, University of Naples Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chiara","family":"Murolo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Public Health, University of Naples Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0454-7946","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Laura","family":"Sarno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Gynecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Public Health, University of Naples Federico II, 80131 Naples, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5015-9015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Camilla","family":"Grelloni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica Delle Marche, 60123 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monia","family":"Cecati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department for the Promotion of Human Science and Quality of Life, San Raffaele Roma University, Via di Val Cannuta, 247, 00166 Rome, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9427-1391","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano Raffaele","family":"Giannubilo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica Delle Marche, 60123 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8037-4947","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea","family":"Ciavattini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences, Clinic of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Universit\u00e0 Politecnica Delle Marche, 60123 Ancona, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lowe, W.L.
