CI | P | CI | P | ||
SV4429 | wecD | 0.39 | 0.0137 | 0.0007 | <0.0001 |
SV4759 | wecA | 0.27 | 0.0030 | 0.0046 | <0.0001 |
SV4801 | wecD, wecA | ND | ND | 0.003 | <0.0001 |
P values were obtained by Student's t test. The null hypothesis was a CI of 1. A P value ≤0.05 indicates that CI is significantly different from 1. ND, not determined.
