Abstract excerpt
C-reactive protein (CRP) serves as a pivotal marker of systemic inflammation, yet its genetic architecture has predominantly been explored within European populations. Our multi-ancestry sequencing-based genome-wide association study (seqGWAS) meta-analysis encompasses 447,369 Europeans, 10,389 Africans, 9685 Asians, and 9200 Hispanics in the discovery set, and 23,521 Europeans, 7160 Africans, 771 Asians, and...
