  1. Delta-value for linkage disequilibrium (Δ = 0.342, p < 0.001) was defined according to the maximum likelihood procedure, with the iterative process outlined by Hill (27).
  2. aPercentage of -238GA genotyped individuals who also have a -376GA genotype.
  3. bPercentage of -376GA genotyped individuals who also have a -238GA genotype.
