Rare functional variants in the CRP and G6PC genes modify the relationship between obesity and serum C‐reactive protein in white British population

Abstract Background C‐reactive protein (CRP) is a sensitive biomarker of inflammation with moderate heritability. The role of rare functional genetic variants in relation to serum CRP is understudied. We aimed to examine gene mutation burden of protein‐altering (PA) and loss‐of‐function (LOF) varian...
