Notably, the associations of rs2274700 (A473A) with DBP (P = 2.1×10−3), SBP (P = 8×10−5) and hypertension risk (P = 7.9×10−3) were significant only in the individuals with low CRP levels (<2.0 mg/l), but not in those with CRP levels ≥2.0 mg/l (P≥0.0807) (P for interaction ≤0.0467). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and hypertensive disorder.
