Pleiotropic genetic architecture and novel loci for C-reactive protein levels - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36376304
ABSTRACT: C-reactive protein is involved in a plethora of pathophysiological conditions. Many genetic loci associated with C-reactive protein are annotated to lipid and glucose metabolism genes supporting common biological pathways between inflammation and metabolic traits. To identify novel pleiotropic loci, we perform multi-trait analysis of genome-wide association studies on C-reactive protein levels along with cardiometabolic traits, followed by a series of in silico analyses including colocalization, phenome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomization. We find 41 novel loci and 19 gene sets associated with C-reactive protein with various pleiotropic effects. Additionally, 41 variants colocalize between C-reactive protein and cardiometabolic risk factors and 12 of them display

-
fasting triglyceride levels Moderate
Risk allele A associates with higher triglyceride levels; carrier status warrants baseline testing and periodic monitoring
Baseline fasting triglyceride test, then annually or per physician guidance
