CRP and type 1 diabetes mellitus: Associations between SNPs and T1DM were sourced from a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies with 5,913 T1DM cases and 8,828 reference samples of European ancestry (Barrett et al., 2009), which identified three SNPs (rs6700896, rs7553007, rs1183910) of the five CRP-associated SNPs identified in our study.
