Genetic predisposition to elevated levels of C-reactive protein is associated with a decreased risk for preeclampsia.

CONCLUSION: Our data suggest an inverse, counterintuitive association between the genetic predisposition to elevated levels of CRP and a decreased risk of preeclampsia. This suggests that the blood CRP level is a marker of preeclampsia, but it does not appear to be a factor on the causal pathway. PMID: 27657194 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
