Betatrophin levels in the GDM group were correlated positively with insulin levels (r=0.336, p=0.009) and the homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) score (r=0.269, p=0.038), and negatively with the C-peptide levels (r=-0.399, p=0.002); they were not correlated with any other glucose or lipid parameters. This evidence concerns the gene INS and Insulin resistance.
