Abstract excerpt
It is well-known that baseline levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are an independent cardiovascular risk factor. We hypothesized that genetic variation with significant influence on CRP levels might be found in genes of the innate immunity system. We performed a candidate gene association study e...
