Using the “haplo.score” function implemented in the “haplo.stats” R package, the global P values for association between haplotypes and CRP level were 0.018. The “haplo.glm” function implemented in the “haplo.stats” R package was used to calculate the coefficient β and P value for each haplotype compared with the reference haplotype (APOE ε3). The same covariates used for genotype analysis were applied in haplotype analysis.
