From: Low levels of small HDL particles predict but do not influence risk of sepsis
The effect of IL-6 and CRP pathway activity on HDL subclass particle counts (A), and the effect of HDL particle counts on IL-6 and CRP levels (B) Estimates were generated using cisIL6R variants to proxy the effect of increased IL-6 pathway activity and using cisCRP variants to proxy the effect of increased CRP protein. Estimates are on the scale of 1 SD change in each exposure
