Further investigation on the influence of other biomarkers reported that a) glucose, HDL, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine transferase (ALT) did not affect the association between fibrinogen and CRC and b) the magnitude of the association was slightly reduced when uric acid was included in the final model (Supplementary Table S9). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is colorectal carcinoma.
