Abstract excerpt
The aim of this research was to assess whether common genetic variants within the C-reactive protein gene (CRP) are related to the degree of acute rise in plasma C-reactive protein (CRP) levels following an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). While polymorphisms within CRP are associated with basal CRP levels in healthy men and women, less is known about the relationship of such genetic variants and the degree of CRP...
