Abstract excerpt
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a risk predictor for future athero-thrombotic events, and its plasma concentration has a heritable component. CRP has also been suggested to play a role in the pathophysiology of venous thromboembolism. To date, no genetic-epidemiological data are available on the relation of CRP gene variants with the risk of venous thromboembolism. The present study was carried out to investigate the...
