Journal ArticleDOI

Genetically Elevated C-Reactive Protein and Ischemic Vascular Disease

TL;DR: Polymorphisms in the CRP gene are associated with marked increases in CRP levels and thus with a theoretically predicted increase in the risk of ischemic vascular disease, but these polymorphisms are not in themselves associated with an increased risk ofIschemicascular disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Association between C reactive protein and coronary heart disease: mendelian randomisation analysis based on individual participant data

G. Eiriksdottir, +137 more
TL;DR: Human genetic data indicate that C reactive protein concentration itself is unlikely to be even a modest causal factor in coronary heart disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect modification by population dietary folate on the association between MTHFR genotype, homocysteine, and stroke risk: a meta-analysis of genetic studies and randomised trials.

TL;DR: In regions with increasing levels or established policies of population folate supplementation, evidence from genetic studies and randomised trials is concordant in suggesting an absence of benefit from lowering of homocysteine for prevention of stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

C-reactive protein levels and body mass index: elucidating direction of causation through reciprocal Mendelian randomization.

TL;DR: The observed association between circulating CRP and measured BMI is likely to be driven by BMI, with CRP being a marker of elevated adiposity, suggesting the method of reciprocal randomization has general applicability within inter-correlated networks of metabolic components.
Journal ArticleDOI

The effect of elevated body mass index on ischemic heart disease risk: causal estimates from a Mendelian randomisation approach.

TL;DR: A Mendelian randomization analysis conducted by Børge G. Nordestgaard and colleagues using data from observational studies supports a causal relationship between body mass index and risk for ischemic heart disease.
