Patients with ACS had increased CRP levels compared with CG, and this appears to be related with ACS clinical spectrum severity. The rs1205 polymorphism is not a susceptibility genetic marker to ACS in Western Mexico population; however, the T allele is associated with lower CRP concentration. Further studies are needed to confirm the prognostic value of ACS and IL-6/CRP correlation, but it could be a reliable test for predicting adverse cardiac events in the Mexican population.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
