However, the frequency of rs1205-CC in AAA patients (15.3%) was similar to control subjects (17.6%), and we could not confirmrs1205-CC was the genetic risk factor of AAA (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: 0.69, 2.01).
Moreover, we found another CRP polymorphism rs1417938-TT had a significantly higher likelihood of AAA than the AT genotype (OR = 2.07, 95% CI: 1.06, 4.03) for the first time, indicating there was perhaps a role for rs14117938-T polymorphism that correlates with AAA.
