Logistic regression analysis and linear regression analysis for the explanation of the phenotypes ‘specific sensitization to common inhalant allergens’ treated as a dichotomic parameter and ‘total serum IgE’ treated as a logarithmic linear parameter by the genotypes ‘presence of the allele P503 or R576, respectively’

The level of significance was adjusted to P < 0·025 to account for multiple testing. The negative parameter estimate indicates lower total IgE levels in individuals bearing the respective polymorphisms, it allows calculating the average IgE levels.
