Different types of diabetes (gestational diabetes, diabetes type 1 and 2) were not related to higher CRP in our data, others did find such a correlation (Vrachnis et al., 2012a; 2012b), differences can be due to the obtained level of glycemic control or the relation with obesity: obesity being a well known associated factor for chronic inflammation. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is obesity due to melanocortin 4 receptor deficiency.
