Human C-reactive Protein (CRP) Gene 1059 G > C Polymorphism is Associated with Plasma CRP Concentration in Patients Receiving Coronary Angiography

Human C-reactive Protein (CRP) Gene 1059 G > C Polymorphism is Associated with Plasma CRP Concentration in Patients Receiving Coronary Angiography

Elevation of C-reactive protein (CRP) level is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. The 1059 G > C polymorphism in exon 2 of the CRP gene has been shown to affect plasma concentration of CRP. We want to elucidate the effect of this polymorphism on the development of coronary a...
