Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: C-Reactive Protein (CRP) values are partly determined by variation at the CRP gene locus, but also influenced by socioeconomic position (SEP) and related lifestyle factors. As gene-by-SEP interactions have been suggested for traits associated with CRP and SEP (e.g., BMI, coronary artery disease), the aim of this study was to investigate the strength of a possible interaction between a CRP gene common...
