Dowsett and colleagues used a genome-wide association approach to investigate the genetic influence on soluble urokinase-type plasminogen activator receptor presence in the plasma of humans. Their findings indicate a 60% heritability factor in British twins, and using a wide sample of Northern European genome samples they identify eleven genetic loci associated with an increase or decrease of this chronic inflammation marker.
