Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: We investigated the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the C-reactive protein (CRP), leptin (LEP) and leptin receptor (LEPR) genes with high sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) levels in two independent cohorts of healthy Spanish children. METHODS: We measured hs-CRP levels in 646 6-8-year-old and 707 12-16-year-old children using a high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein ELISA kit. Four SNPs...
