If you original read in the data with read.table, use its
row.names=NULL argument so it doesn't turn the first
character column with no duplicated entries into the
row.names.

> d <- read.table(text="
+ CAP beta0          beta1              pvalor        Crom
+ rs17      158.5980 12.252462 9.083193e-135        1
+ rs46      163.3730  3.304276  3.279925e-06          1
+ rs63      162.7924  2.084678  5.023893e-06          1
+ rs24      162.4252  1.837208  5.509042e-06          1
+ ",sep="",header=TRUE,  row.names=NULL)

   CAP    beta0     beta1        pvalor Crom
