In this regard, a number of studies have shown that erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), serum levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukins are associated with subsequent poor cognitive performances following stroke (Kliper et al., 2013[62]; Narasimhalu et al., 2015[88]; Rothenburg et al., 2010[96]). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is stroke disorder.
