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.
Microsatellite indicates the size of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product.
