Table 1.

Nine microsatellites showing the strongest association between heterozygosity and mortality due to invasive bacterial disease.

The table shows odds ratios (OR), adjusted for age in 6 strata and geographical location in 8 strata, of death due to bacterial invasive disease, along with lower and upper 95% confidence intervals (CI). Significance was assessed using 2 × 2 contingency table of heterozygote/homozygote vs case/control, yielding a chi-squared value (chi sq) and its associated P value. All loci comfortably exceed the experiment-wide significance threshold of 0.00037.
