Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to clarify relationships between the C-reactive protein (CRP) gene and both the serum level of CRP and arterial pulse wave velocity (PWV), using haplotype analysis of healthy elderly Japanese. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the human CRP gene (rs1341665, rs3091244, rs1800947, rs1130864 and rs1205) were used to genotype 315 healthy elderly Japanese subjects (mean...
