Figure 3 Association Between Baseline CRP and the GT Repeat Polymorphism in the CRP Gene

Each circle and whisker is the mean ± SEM for baseline (age-adjusted) CRP obtained from the indicated number of individuals. The correlation coefficient (r) for the sine-wave regressions is given. The arrows point to the common GT¹⁶ and GT²¹ variants having the lowest (approximately equal) CRP levels. CRP = C-reactive protein.
