Condition: C-Reactive Protein Levels
What the study found
Who was studied 1,709 Filipino ancestry female individuals.
The effect Each copy of the C allele shifted the measure 0.288 higher (95% confidence interval 0.20-0.38); p = 1 × 10−9.
How common The C allele had a frequency of about 43% in the people studied.

Papers in Europe PMC whose title or abstract names both this rsID and that subject. A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together — it is not a claim that this position explains the subject.
rs876537 is a single position in the genome, in or near the CRP gene. Published research associates it with c-reactive protein. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.
On MyGeneLog this position is linked to C-Reactive Protein Levels. The research behind each link, and its sources, are set out on that condition page.
Subjects that appear in the title or abstract of the same papers as this rsID include heart and circulation (2 papers), short-sightedness and screens (1 papers). A shared paper means somebody wrote about the two together; it is not a claim that this position explains the topic.
No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.
