As illustrated in Table 4, a stepwise multivariate regression analysis demonstrated that apoB, TG, and apoA1 levels were key predictors of LDL-C levels in the GDM group (R2 = 0.718, adjusted R2 = 0.716, P < 0.001), and apoB, TG, apoA1, and OGTT-1 h glucose were significant predictors of LDL-C levels in all the participants (R2 = 0.719, adjusted R2 = 0.718, P < 0.001). The gene discussed is APOA1; the disease is gestational diabetes.
