Incidence rate ratios and 95% CIs for HCC were per doubling of concentrations of CRP, IL-6, C-peptide, and non-HMW adiponectin (1.22; 95% CI: 1.02–1.46; p = 0.03; 1.90; 95% CI: 1.30–2.77; p = 0.001; 2.25; 95% CI: 1.43–3.54; p = 0.0005; and 2.09; 95% CI: 1.19–3.67; p = 0.01, respectively). The gene discussed is ADIPOQ; the disease is hepatocellular carcinoma.
