Furthermore, the CRP SNP rs7553007 (hazard ratio [HR] = 1.101; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.011–1.200; P = 0.027) and KRAS/BRAF mutations (HR = 2.377; 95% CI = 1.293–4.368; P = 0.005) remained predictive for the CSS of CRC patients with synchronous liver metastasis in multivariate analysis. The gene discussed is BRAF; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
