Factors that Impact the Rate of CGG Repeat Instability[Note]

IndependentVariables ParameterEstimates P OR (95% CI)
Total data set:
Y-intercept −7.07
 CGG-repeat size .12 <.0001 1.12 (1.08–1.17)
 Parental origin −1.50 .0002 .22 (.10–.49)
Sequenced data set:
Y-intercept −4.02
 Length of 3′ end .09 .0002 1.10 (1.05–1.15)
 Parental origin −1.46 .0129 .23 (.07–.73)

Note.— The dependent variable is transmission stability. The posterior probability (or predicted risk) for instability can be calculated as follows: for total data set, P(x)=1/[1+e-[(-7.07)+(0.12)(CGG-repeatsize)+(-1.50)(parentalorigin)]]; for sequenced data set, P(x)=1/[1+e-[(-4.02)+(0.09)(lengthof3end)+(-1.46)(parentalorigin)]].
