The adjusted odds ratios (ORs) [95% confidence interval (95% CI)] of IS per addition of the modelled allele were 1.07 (0.79-1.45) for rs876537, 0.99 (0.73-1.35) for rs1205 and 1.08 (0.71-1.65) for rs3093059.
We found that rs2794521, rs3093059, and rs1205 were associated with decreased IS risk; we also found that gene-gene interaction between rs2794521 and rs3093059, and gene-environment interaction between rs2794521 and smoking were associated with decreased IS risk.
Japanese patients with IS (72.4 +/- 8.2 years of age, n = 152) and elderly Japanese subjects without IS (78.0 +/- 4.2 years of age, n = 304) were genotyped for four SNP of the human CRP gene: rs1341665, rs1800947, rs1130864, and rs1205.
