Abstract excerpt

C-reactive protein (CRP) has been studied largely in white non-Hispanic cohorts. There is limited information on CRP's range of values, heritability, and relation to cardiovascular disease risk factors in African Americans. The aim of this study was to evaluate the distribution, clinical correlates, heritability, and genetic linkage of log-transformed CRP in participants in the middle-aged to elderly African...
