Table II. Compared Mean Scores Between Groups for the Big Five Factors and Sense of Humor.

Results of the pairwise comparisons of the scores between groups are summarized by showing p-values resulting from a bilateral and heteroscedastic Student test. Bolded significance (p-value < 0.05) has been confirmed by a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. The rightmost column shows a pairwise test between one RASopathy and the combination of the other three RASopathies or controls compared with the combination of all four RASopathies.
