ABSTRACT
This study was designed to compare first-trimester maternal serum biochemical markers of aneuploidy and fetal nuchal translucency in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes mellitus and those of a control group. The study included 60 gestational diabetic and 60 control women who attended the first-trimester combined screening program for Down syndrome between 11 and 14 gestational weeks with complete follow-up data and delivered in our institution. Maternal serum free ß-human chorionic gonadotropin, pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A and fetal nuchal translucency were investigated. The combined risks, double test risks and age risks were calculated by PRISCA software version 4.0. Comparison of the results between the two groups yielded no significant differences in serum levels of free ß-human chorionic gonadotropin and fetal nuchal translucency. However, women who developed gestational diabetes mellitus had significantly lower pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A. And also, the combined risks and double test risks calculated by PRISCA software were statistically higher in gestational diabetic women than normal pregnant women. These results suggest that differences can be seen between diabetic and healthy pregnant women in first-trimester maternal serum biochemical markers of aneuploidy.
