C reactive protein and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a Mendelian randomisation approach.

Thorax - 1 Mar 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether elevated plasma C reactive protein (CRP) is causally related to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The authors tested the hypothesis that genetically elevated plasma CRP causes COPD using a Mendelian randomisation design. METHODS: The authors measured high-sensitivity CRP in plasma, genotyped for four single nucleotide polymorphisms in the CRP gene, and screened for...
