In all patients with T2D compared to those without T2D, median CRP was significantly elevated (98.7 vs 83.6 mg/L, p = 0.01), but LDH and ferritin were reduced (332 vs. 344.5 U/L, p = 0.04 and 514 vs. 639 ng/mL, p = 0.0012, respectively). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
