Reference	Tested Markers	Statistical Values/Author Comments	Result Category	Comment on Study
Byrne, E. M., 2014		P-value=0.03. The evidence for a role for common risk variants in circadian genes is slightly stronger for BPD, with two genesâ€”BHLHB3 and DBP1â€”showing nominal significance for the gene-based test and nine genes harboring a SNP with a P-value <0.01.	Positive	Comment on Study
Soria, V.,2010	SNP: rs4963954	Significant associations of BHLHE41 gene were found in BPD patients.	Positive	Comment on Study
Mansour, H. A.,2009		Gene-based tests:X<sup>2</sup>=0.786, P-value = 0.708 in additive model, X<sup>2</sup>=0.86, P-value = 0.717 in dominant model, X<sup>2</sup>=0.471, P-value = 0.868 in recessive model in BPI. No significant association was observed using neither single SNP-based analyses nor gene-based tests in BPI.	Negative	Comment on Study
