Minimal variation in laboratory data was observed in our study group, with the exception of albumin which is a recognized predictor of survival in elderly patients (McMurtry and Rosenthal 1995; D’Erasmo et al. 1997) and CRP which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (Tracy et al. 1997; Buckley et al. 2009) (Table 1). The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is cardiovascular disorder.
