Background/objectives: The prevalence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing, and GDM poses health risks for both mothers and newborns. This study investigated the association between GDM and two biomarkers, osteopontin (OPN) and betatrophin (ANGPTL8).

Methods: This study involved face-to-face interviews with 165 participants-81 in the GDM group and 84 in the control group-to gather maternal-newborn data.

(1) Background: Fetal chromosomal examination is a critical component of modern prenatal testing. Traditionally, maternal serum biomarkers such as free β-human chorionic gonadotropin (Free β-HCG) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPPA) have been employed for screening, achieving a detection rate of approximately 90% for fetuses with Down syndrome, albeit with a false positive rate of 5%. While amniocentesis remains the gold standard for the prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal abnormalities, including Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome, its invasive nature carries a significant risk of complications, such as infection, preterm labor, or miscarriage, occurring at a rate of 7 per 1000 procedures.
