C-reactive protein gene polymorphisms affect plasma CRP and homocysteine concentrations in subjects with and without angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease.

Abstract excerpt

Human C-reactive protein (CRP) is a reactant involved in the acute phase response and one of the many molecular factors involved in pathogenesis of coronary artery disease (CAD). CRP gene variants potentially mediate CRP plasma concentrations and the development of CAD. 220 Croatian subjects with angiographically confirmed CAD and 132 control subjects were included in the study. CRP gene polymorphisms 1059G/C and...
