rs1169300 is a SNP that was originally associated with C-reactive protein levels, and given other findings that suggest C-reactive protein levels may be predictive of cancer risk, was thought to be linked to cancer risk.
A large study pooling data from 3 Finnish studies totaling over 18,000 individuals concluded that while this SNP is not likely to be causative (relative to cancer), it and one other CRP SNP (rs2464196) are associated with increased risk for lung cancer. The odds ratio for minor alleles of either SNP was about 1.5x and 2x for heterozygotes and homozygotes, respectively. One other CRP SNP (rs1892534) was associated with increased overall cancer risk. CRP SNPs were not associated with colorectal, prostate or breast cancer risk.[PMID 20727736]
