1Data are shown as median (range).

2P vs. controls by Mann-Whitney U-test (for age, BMI, ALT, and blood pressure) or Fisher's exact test (for other variables).

3P for deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE).

4Fifteen subjects simultaneously had EPS- and PDS-like symptoms.

FD, functional dyspepsia; EPS, epigastric pain syndrome; PDS, postprandial distress syndrome; BMI, body mass index.
