چکیده
OBJECTIVE C-reactive protein (CRP) concentrations are predictive of cardiovascular disease, and levels are heritable, in part. We identified novel polymorphisms in the CRP gene and assessed their influence on CRP level. METHODS AND RESULTS CRP was measured in 250 male army recruits before and after strenuous exercise and perioperatively in 193 coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) patients. Two novel polymorphisms were identified in the CRP gene, -717G>A in the promoter and +1444C>T in the 3'UTR. Among army recruits, CRP was higher in +1444TT homozygotes than +1444 C-allele carriers at baseline (1.04+/-0.38 versus 0.55+/-0.06, P=0.014) and at all time points after exercise (2.35+/-0.68 versus 1.07+/-0.12, 2.11+/-0.53 versus 0.88+/-0.09, and 1.77+/-0.44 versus 0.71+/-0.09, P=0.034, P=0.007, and P=0.013, at 2, 48, and 96 hours after exercise, respectively). In the CABG patients, mean CRP (mg/L) rose from 1.97+/-0.36 at baseline to 167.2+/-5.0 72 hours postoperatively. Genotype did not influence CRP at baseline; however, peak post-CABG CRP levels were higher in +1444TT homozygotes compared with +1444C-allele carriers (198+/-17 versus 164+/-5, P=0.03). CONCLUSIONS The CRP gene +1444C>T variant influences basal and stimulated CRP level. These findings have implications both for the prediction and pathogenesis of coronary heart disease.

Polymorphism at the C-reactive protein locus influences gene expression and predisposes to systemic lupus erythematosus.
Relative deficiency of pentraxin proteins is implicated in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythematosus. The C-reactive protein (CRP) response is defective in patients with acute flares of disease, and mice with targeted deletions of the serum amyloid P component gene (Sap) develop a lupus-like illness. In humans, the genes for CRP (CRP) and SAP (APCS) map to 1q23.2 within an interval linke...
متن کاملEvaluation of Apolipoprotein A5 Polymorphism in Coronary- Heart Disease Patients
Background and Objectives: Apolipoprotein A5 (APOA5) gene is important in determining plasma triglyceride levels, a major cardiovascular disease risk factor. Mutation in this gene affected plasma triglyceride level. We looked for possible associations of the APOA5 gene polymorphism S19W with coronary heart disease (CHD) in a sample of Iranian population. Materials and Methods: A total of 7...

OBJECTIVE We evaluated the association between four polymorphisms in the CRP gene with circulating levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity, and risk score of coronary heart disease. METHODS We studied 402 individuals and classified them into four groups: healthy, obese, T2D obese, and T2D without obesity, from Guerrero, Southwestern Mexico. Blood levels of CRP, gluc...
متن کاملC-Reactive Protein (CRP) Gene Polymorphisms, CRP Levels, and Risk of Incident Coronary Heart Disease in Two Nested Case-Control Studies
BACKGROUND C-reactive protein (CRP), an acute phase reactant and marker of inflammation, has been shown to predict risk of incident cardiovascular events. However, few studies have comprehensively examined six common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the CRP gene, haplotypes, and plasma CRP levels with risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). METHODS AND FINDINGS We conducted parallel ne...
