Of these, six stress factors assayed at fasting (hs-CRP levels; RBC, NEUT, RET, MCV, and HFR numbers) and three stress factors in the 1-h OGTT (hs-CRP levels; RBC and MONO numbers) showed significant (P ≤ 0.05) associations with GDM outcome. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is gestational diabetes.
