The initial workup revealed anemia, mildly elevated inflammatory markers (white cell count [WCC], 14.86 × 109/L [normal range: 4-11 × 109/L], absolute neutrophil count [ANC], 11.74 × 109/L [normal range: 1.8-7.5 × 109/L], and C-reactive protein [CRP], 29.7 mg/L [normal range: 0-8.0 mg/L]), and negative serial troponin T levels (9 ng/L and 10 ng/L [normal range: <16 ng/L]). The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is anemia (phenotype).
