A new study was published in 2014, not included in the published meta-analyses, using the NHANES III data and found an imprecise but statistically significant increased risk of colorectal cancer mortality comparing CRP above 1 mg/dL versus undetectable concentrations, but the study did not use a high-sensitivity CRP assay and observed only 59 CRC deaths [39]. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
