The findings showed that the TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β levels in the women with GDM and HCMV activation were significantly higher than in the other groups (i.e., GDM without HCMV activation, no GDM but with HCMV activation, and no GDM and no HCMV activation). The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is gestational diabetes.
