A genome-wide association study identifies rs2000999 as a strong genetic determinant of circulating haptoglobin levels.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Haptoglobin is an acute phase inflammatory marker. Its main function is to bind hemoglobin released from erythrocytes to aid its elimination, and thereby haptoglobin prevents the generation of reactive oxygen species in the blood. Haptoglobin levels have
