C-Reactive Protein Gene Variants and Their Serum Levels in Early Adult-onset Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

C-Reactive protein (CRP) is a common marker of inflammation. Elevated CRP levels have been associated with increased risk of development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This study aimed to evaluate the association of CRP gene polymorphisms with early-onset T2DM and the effect of genetic variants on CRP level.In total, 948 individuals with early-onset (n=271) or late-onset (n=677) T2DM were enrolled in the study. Five single-nucleotide...
