C-reactive protein and risk of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract excerpt

In this study, we examined whether C-reactive protein (CRP) play causal roles in Alzheimer's disease (AD) using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis. Summary-level data for AD (71,880 cases and 383,378 controls) was obtained from the large meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies. As instrumental variables, we used 56 single nucleotide polymorphisms (n = 4 for conservative CRP instruments; n = 52 for...
