ROC curve analysis for CRP revealed an AUC value of 0.644 (95% CI 0.518–0.769, P = 0.03) (Figure 1) and a cutoff value of 3 mg/L yielded a 37% sensitivity and 95% specificity for predicting the presence of sHTN in this cohort of sarcoidosis subjects. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is sarcoidosis.
