The sample size related to carriers of mutations in TP53, SF3B1, SRSF2, CBL, and JAK2 was insufficient to perform analyses in these subgroups. The presented P values are for mutations yes vs no status differences in log-transformed changes in hs-CRP.

CHIP+, carrier of mutation(s); CHIP, noncarrier of mutation; GM, geometric mean.

*

Generalized linear regression model-derived ln(hs-CRP) with adjustment for age, sex, and CAD status at baseline-adjusted where CHIP was the referent category.
