- Abstract
The article focuses on exploring the relationship between genetic predisposition to elevated C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and the risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), suggesting a potential role of inflammation in both the development and exacerbation of OSA symptoms. It mentions through genetic approaches such as polygenic risk scores (PRSs) and Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses, the study investigates the causal association between CRP levels and OSA.
