Data presented as n of subjects (%).

aP-value from χ2-test with two degrees of freedom.

bP-value from χ2-test with one degree of freedom.

cP-value from χ2-test in the same genotype between Yi and Yao groups with two degrees of freedom.

dP-value from χ2-test in the same genotype between Han and Yi groups with two degrees of freedom.

*P < 0.05, significant difference between the Yi and Yao groups; χ2-test.

#P < 0.05, significant difference between the Han and Yi groups; χ2-test.

CI, confidence interval; NS, no significant difference (P ≥ 0.05).
