CHD, coronary heart disease; NA, not available.

a

Genotype data presented as absolute (percent) genotype frequency. Frequencies are weighted according to the sampling fraction. The R53H variant allele in PTGS1 (rs3842789) was identified in only one African-American non-case.

b

Number of cases and non-cases with available DNA for genotyping (n=131/2,275 did not have DNA available).

c

Distribution of the P17L polymorphism in PTGS1 significantly deviated from Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium in Caucasians (P=0.002).
