Table 4.

Adjusted mean difference from reference in neurodevelopmental outcomes at 20 months and 7 years (N = 1,141–1,236) between children with different SNPs in NFE2L2 or KEAP1 genesa. The homozygote with the most subjects in our sample is the reference category and the mean difference in outcome (β) associated with changing the genotype is given with its standard error (SE). For each model, the first row gives the p-value for the 2df test for a change in outcome by genotype, conditional on the other covariates. When the outcome means differ significantly across genotype levels based on a 2 df test (Gene p-value), the p-value for the mean differences from the homozygote are given (p).

Response Gene p-value NFE2L2 rs2364723 Gene p-value NFE2L2 rs13001694 Gene p-value KEAP1 rs8113472 Gene p-value KEAP1 rs9676881
