| P2RX7, rs208294 {CC&CT vs. TT} | 0.0028* | 0.006 |
| Upper 1st Premolars were extracted or missing | 0.0469 | 0.007 |
| IL1β, rs1143634 {AA&GA vs. GG} | 0.0533 | 0.008 |
| Change in FMA | 0.0591 | 0.01 |
| P2RX7, rs1718119 {AA&GG vs. GA} | 0.0813 | 0.01 |
| Change in Ur-pvt | 0.0908 | 0.02 |
| CASP1/ICE, rs530537 {TT vs. CC&TC} | 0.1527 | 0.03 |
| P2RX7, rs208294 {CC vs. CT} | 0.1564 | 0.05 |
Statistically significant compared to alpha corrected by layered Bonferroni procedure; Extraction of second premolars was not included in the analysis. The factors summarized in the table explain 25.13% of the variation observed in this sample.
