- Genetically Elevated C-Reactive Protein and Ischemic Vascular Disease. Or, it's premature to expect a single biomarker to predict a disease, no matter what the expectation based on genes.: "?People with the most active CRP genes were at no higher risk for heart disease and stroke than were people with the least active CRP genes". JFS: "C-reacti ve protein is a protein that can rise with short-term infections, injuries or inflammatory process anywhere in the body. Elevated levels are found associated with everything from anger and stress to arthritis, cancer, lupus, connective tissue disease, inflammatory bowel disease, pneumonia, tuberculosis, with oral contraceptive and pregnancy, heart attacks, surgery, trauma, burns, strenuous exercise, and countless conditions.&qu ot;
