Table 4.

Comparison of potential needs and actually performed genetic testing shown for inflammatory non-infectious and non-inflammatory benign rheumatic disease categories. Differences between groups are tested using the chi-square test, with significance indicated if p < 0.05. After Bonferroni adjustments for multiple testing, results are shown with a local significance value of 0.006.
