CRP and colorectal carcinoma: When the genotypes of SNP rs1205 were coded comparing the TT genotype with the CT and CC genotypes combined - analogous to the two previous publications [19, 20] on CRP genotypes and CRC mortality - significant positive associations were observed with CRC mortality (HR 1.79, 95% CI 1.20, 2.67) as well as all-cause mortality (HR 1.64, 95% CI 1.15, 2.34).
