NOTE. Listed frequencies (%) are for the presence of 0 (0/0), 1 (0/1), or 2 (1/1) copies of the genotype or allelic length. P values were calculated using a logistic regression model including 0/1 and 1/1, with 0/0 as the reference (a general model that did not assume any particular type of inheritance was used), adjusted for age group, sex, and ethnicity. OR, odds ratio.
