Logistic regression analysis of TNF-863 C/A genotype and allele frequency among SM compared with UM patients
| TNF−863 C/A | OR‡(95% CI) | Pvalue |
|---|---|---|
| Genotypes | ||
| CC | 4.64 (1.85-11.64) | <0.001 |
| CA | 1.00 | |
| AA | 0.69 (0.12- 3.94) | 0.67 |
| Alleles frequency | ||
| C | 0.24 (0.07- 0.68) | 0.003 |
| A |
‡OR represent odds ratios while CI represents confidence intervals. Uncomplicated malaria patients (UM) were assigned 0 while severe malaria (SM) patients were assigned 1 in the logistic regression analysis. OR above 1 represented value associated to SM patients while less than 1 value represented to UM patients.
