2003A/G (Q668R) genotypes, their association with the risk of thoracic aortic aneurysm and thoracic aortic dissection, and A allele frequencies in patients and control subjects

Control subjects (n = 111) Patients with TAA (n = 28) Patients with TAD (n = 60) Patients with TAA or TAD (n = 85)
Genotype No. % No. % Crude OR (95% Cl) Adjusted OR (95% Cl) No. % Crude OR (95% Cl) Adjusted OR (95% Cl) No. % Crude OR (95% Cl) Adjusted OR (95% Cl)
Odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals were calculated with logistic regression, with the MMP9 variant genotype (GG) as the reference group, and adjusted for age and sex. TAA, Thoracic aortic aneurysm; TAD, thoracic aortic dissection; OR, odds ratio; Cl, confidence interval.
