Results of the genome-wide association study of serum CRP levels.

<p>Chr, chromosome; MAF, minor allele frequency; CRP, C-reactive protein; SE, standard error; β, Effect size of a minor allele on natural-log-transformed CRP; Q, p-value for Cochrane's Q statistic assessing if combining studies are homogeneous; I², I-squared index quantifying heterogeneity.</p><p>*Most significantly associated SNP in each locus based on the meta analysis results were summarized.</p>†<p>SNP positions were based on the NCBI human genome build 36.3 (hg18).
