Additionally, in the cancer patients, PAPP-A2 showed correlations with several markers of inflammation, organ status and overall illness, including C-reactive protein (CRP) (r = 0.34, p < 0.001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (r = 0.29, p < 0.001), eGFR (r = −0.18, p < 0.05) and hemoglobin (r = −0.30, p < 0.001). The gene discussed is PAPPA2; the disease is cancer.
