Additionally, CN-qPCR achieved clear separation for 10 female carriers and 10 non-Inv22 females, suggesting the assay may also be useful for molecular diagnosis of female carriers. CONCLUSIONS This new CN-qPCR method may provide a convenient and accurate F8 Inv22 test suitable for clinical use. © American Association for Clinical Chemistry 2020. All rights reserved.

This prospective observational study evaluated the use of POC measurements of maternal glucose to diagnose GDM in women being screened selectively with a 1-step 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). METHODS The strictest preanalytic and analytic international laboratory standards were applied to measure maternal plasma glucose at fasting and at 1 and 2 h post glucose load. The recent International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups diagnostic criteria were used. At the same time, maternal capillary glucose was measured. Because of differences in plasma and capillary glucose measurements, regression analysis of POC capillary glucose results vs laboratory plasma glucose results was conducted. The regression equations for plasma glucose were derived in a derivation cohort (n = 102). These equations were applied in the validation cohort (n = 100). Predicted and actual plasma glucose values were compared. RESULTS Of the 202 women screened, 36.6% were nulliparous, 56.4% were obese, and 81.2% were Irish-born. Two thirds had a single risk factor for GDM, and a third had multiple risk factors. Based on the plasma measurements, 53.5% had GDM. As a predictor of GDM, the diagnostic accuracy of POC measurement was 83.0% (95% confidence interval, 74.2-89.8). CONCLUSIONS In high-
