Thus, while some studies have implicated variants, such as the rs7310409 in acute coronary syndrome [40], rs2259816 in CAD [34], and rs2464196 in subclinical coronary atherosclerosis [30], others reported only a weak or no link at all for rs2259816 with CAD in the presence of a decrease in C-reactive protein levels [28]. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and coronary atherosclerosis.
