Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) and increased C-reactive protein (CRP) levels are both predictors of coronary artery disease (CAD), and are correlated with each other. We examined whether these two phenotypes share a common genetic substrate and investigated the relations of the CRP gene polymorphisms with both CRP levels and HRV indices. We examined 236 male twins free of symptomatic CAD, with mean age (±SD) of 54 years (±2.9). Plasma CRP levels were measured and frequency domain measures of HRV were assessed using a 24-hour ECG recording, including ultra-low, very-low, low and high frequency power (ULF, VLF, LF, and HF). Three SNPs in the CRP gene were genotyped. Generalized estimating equations were used to examine the association between CRP and HRV, as well as the genotype-phenotype association. Bivariate structural equation modeling was performed to estimate the genetic and environmental correlations between CRP and HRV, and the explanatory effect of CRP gene polymorphisms on the CRP-HRV association. Both CRP (h2=0.76) and HRV indices (h2=0.56–0.64) showed high heritability. Higher CRP levels were significantly associated with lower HRV. A robust genetic correlation was found between CRP and ULF (rG=−0.3, P=0.001). One CRP SNP (rs1205) was significantly associated with both CRP (P=0.003) and ULF (P=0.005) and explained 11% of the genetic covariance between them. In conclusion, reduced HRV is significantly correlated with increased CRP plasma levels and this correlation is due, in large part, to common genetic influences. A polymorphism in the CRP gene contributes to both CRP levels and HRV.
