Table IV.
Comparison of genotype distribution and risk estimates of different degrees of tubal damage.
| IL12B, rs3212227 | Controls, n (%) | Severity of tubal damage (Hull and Rutherford) |
χ2 for trend (P–value) | Minor damage | Moderate damage | Severe damage | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minor, n (%) | Moderate, n (%) | Severe, n (%) | OR (95% CI) | OR (95% CI) | OR (95% CI) | |||
| AA | 89 (84.0) | 18 (78.3) | 25 (67.6) | 23 (65.7) | 0.008 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
| AC or CC | 17 (16.0) | 5 (21.7) | 12 (32.4) | 12 (34.3) | 1.45 (0.48–4.45) | 2.51 (1.06–5.95) | 2.73 (1.15–6.52) | |
A χ2 test for trend was used to analyse the relationship between genotype and disease severity. ORs with 95% CIs are shown.
