Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves showed that IL6, IL8, and IL18, if employed alone, can discriminate GDM patients from NGT individuals at GDM diagnosis, with the area under the ROC curves (AUCs) of 0.844, (95% CI 0.736–0.953), 0.771 (95% CI 0.651–0.890), and 0.714 (95% CI 0.582–0.846), respectively. The gene discussed is IL6; the disease is gestational diabetes.
