The OR was calculated on the basis of a T-allele frequency of 8.5% in 2,064 white control subjects; 95% CIs are not corrected for the complex patterns of relatedness of cases.
Thirty-two cases from affected sib pair families reported elsewhere (Kyogoku et al. 2004).
Forty-three cases from affected sib pair families reported elsewhere (Begovich et al. 2004).
