Table 3. Comparison of effect sizes for genetic versus intrinsic terms in immunological parameters.
Genetic term | Response | Modela | d.f. | Coefficient | Sex | Body weightb | Eye lens weightb |
Il1b | Il1b expression | Additive | 4 | −0.15 to 0.62 | n.s. | −0.32 | −0.04 |
Gata3 96 h expression | Heterozygosity | 1 | −1.08 | −3.73 | n.s. | −0.55 | |
Il2 | Il10 expression | Heterozygosity | 1 | −0.42 | n.s. | n.s. | n.s. |
Il12b | Il1b expression | Additive | 2 | 0.47 to 1.56 | n.s. | −0.32 | −0.04 |
Il2 expression | Heterozygosity | 1 | −1.15 | n.s. | n.s. | n.s. |
Under an additive model, the range of effect sizes for alleles is shown compared against the most common haplotype at that locus; under a heterozygosity model, values of heterozygotes were compared against homozygotes (see text).
Effect size shown for comparative purposes based on the interquartile range for females within a single season (Spring 2008).
