Again, each atopic illness was associated with elevated CRP: asthma (β = 0.121, s.e. = 0.054, p = 0.026); eczema (β = 0.155, s.e. = 0.056, p = 0.006) and both (β = 0.167, s.e. = 0.073, p = 0.022), but there was no evidence of association following adjustment. This evidence concerns the gene CRP and Eczematoid dermatitis.
