Frequency (%F) of each genotype is expressed as a percentage and defined as the number of individuals having the genotype (N+) divided by the number of individuals studied (n) in the study group;OR, Odds ratio; CI, Confidence interval; Comparisons: AxC, all patients vs. controls, MxC, mild vs. controls, SxC, severe vs. controls, SxM, sever vs. mild.

Values shows significant difference are shown in bold.
