Table 2.

8-SNP haplotype association tests for the best haplotype pattern (rs7550106, rs499697, rs17659389, rs17670505) derived by multi-locus stepwise regression (MSR) with four known FLG mutations (S3247X, R2447X, 2282del4, R501X) added in that order for case control set and replicated by family set.

Logistic regression was used for testing a single haplotype for the case control set and the weighted TDT statistic was used for a single haplotype by computing transmitted (T) versus non-transmitted (U) haplotypes. Calculations were carried out for the full set (FLG) and the FLG reduced sets (NON-FLG). The minor allele was coded as 1 and the major one as 2. For the sake of following the rare FLG mutations the frequency threshold for the 8-SNP haplotype estimation had been lowered to 0.001, however, only combined with best pattern haplotypes down to a total frequency > 0.05 in the full case set.

Abbreviations are as follows: Freq., haplotype frequency; OR, odds ratio; FLG, Filaggrin gene; T:U, transmitted:non-transmitted; NA, not available.
