Genetic determinants of C-reactive protein in COPD.

The European respiratory journal - 1 Dec 2006

Hersh C P, Miller D T, Kwiatkowski D J, Silverman E K

Abstract excerpt

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is associated with a systemic inflammatory state, marked by elevations in serum inflammatory markers including C-reactive protein (CRP). The present study sought to determine epidemiological predictors of CRP levels, to estimate the genetic influence on CRP levels, and to identify genetic variants that affect CRP in a family-based study of COPD. CRP was measured by a...
