Table 3. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of the relative brain sizes and other parameters at birth.

Degree of freedom Sum Square Mean Square F value Pr(>F)
Genotypes* 1 0.007 0.007 9.790 0.002
Length of Pregnancy (week) 1 0.007 0.007 10.235 0.001
Body weight (g) 1 0.000 0.000 0.023 0.880
Sex 1 0.000 0.000 0.498 0.480
Residuals 1238 0.898 0.001

The genotype CC is compared against HC and HH and a dominant effect is assumed. Among the four variables considered, only the genotype and length of pregnancy in weeks were significant (p value <0.05). The rest of the variables including the body weight in grams and genders, all have p values greater than 0.05, indicating that they were not associated with the relative brain sizes.
