Abstract excerpt

Adipose tissue is a key factor determining C-reactive protein (CRP) plasma levels. Variation at the fat-mass and obesity-associated (FTO) gene locus has been reported to be associated with increased body fat. We investigated whether the FTO rs9939609 T>A single nucleotide polymorphism might alter CRP levels in a population-based sample of 2,415 participants from a large prospective cohort study....
