Out of the model’s explanatory variables, ‘CRP’ (Beta = −.279, p = .000) and ‘CVD’ (Beta = −.233, p = 002) showed the highest levels of explanation, followed by ‘GFR’ (Beta = .191, p = .003), ‘diabetes’ (Beta = −.160, p = .008) and ‘age’ (Beta = −.158, p = 021). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is diabetes mellitus.
