New variants including ARG1 polymorphisms associated with C-reactive protein levels identified by genome-wide association and pathway analysis.

New variants including ARG1 polymorphisms associated with C-reactive protein levels identified by genome-wide association and pathway analysis.

C-reactive protein (CRP) is a general marker of systemic inflammation and cardiovascular disease (CVD). The genetic contribution to differences in CRP levels remains to be explained, especially in non-European populations. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify genetic loci associated with CRP...
