aF = Allele frequency. bGenotype frequency expressed as number of individuals, n – values in parentheses indicate percentage. cOR = odds ratio, 95% CI = 95% confidence interval. dGenotype odds ratios calculated compared with homozygotes for common allele; het OR = odds ratio for heterozygous genotype, hom OR = odds ratio for minor allele homozygous genotype. All values were calculated using the full dataset, the minimum age of control subjects being 35 years.
