Table 1. Genotype distribution of the CD14 C-159T and TLR4 Asp299Gly variants among patients with meningococcal disease compared to controls.

		Genotype
SNP		1/1	1/2	2/2	p value
CD14 C-159T	Patients	46 (24.9)	93 (50.3)	46 (24.9)	0.266
	Controls	213 (27.7)	393 (51.0)	164 (21.3)
TLR4 Asp299Gly	Patients	167 (90.3)	18 (9.7)	0 (0.0)	0.359
	Controls	678 (88.2)	88 (11.4)	3 (0.4)

Data are numbers of subjects. Numbers in parentheses present percent values. The frequent allele is denoted as “1” and the rare allele as “2”. P values were calculated with the Chi-squared test.
