Pleiotropy among Common Genetic Loci Identified for Cardiometabolic Disorders and C-Reactive Protein

Pleiotropic genetic variants have independent effects on different phenotypes. C-reactive protein (CRP) is associated with several cardiometabolic phenotypes. Shared genetic backgrounds may partially underlie these associations. We conducted a genome-wide analysis to identify the shared genetic back...
