Results are shown for dominant genetic model. Major and minor alleles, and forward/bottom strand orientation according to NCBI hg version 36 for Caucasian populations. CRP SNPs in strong linkage disequilibrium are combined; therefore not all genotyped SNPs are represented. ‡Describes associated effect of each haplotype on postoperative CRP levels based on a Tobit regression model. †Taking into account posterior probabilities, the overall joint test for the haplotype block adjusted for clinical covariates and repeated measures for postoperative CRP was significant at P = 7.44 × 10-8. *The CC haplotype was significantly associated with decreased postoperative CRP levels at P = 4.64 × 10-3 whereas the GT haplotype was associated with increased postoperative CRP levels at P = 0.029.
