A prospective cohort of patients was recruited at three time points during pregnancy for this study; therefore, we analyzed plasma at early gestation (i.e., 11–14 weeks) before GDM was diagnosed. Currently, there is no reliable early detection biomarker to identify women who are at risk for developing GDM (3). We established that the total number of …
