This finding alsoaligns with the work of Myasoedova et al. [23], who demonstrated thatserum CRP levels in RA patients frequently exceed the 3 mg/L and 10 mg/L cutoffsassociated with high and very high cardiovascular risk in the general population.CRP reflects the inflammatory burden in RA and acts as an independent predictorof cardiovascular events [24]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is rheumatoid arthritis.
