| Statistical Method |
two-tailed chi-square tests |
| Result Summary |
No significant differences were observed in the genotype frequencies compared with healthy subjects among BD-I (p = 0.79), BD-II(p = 0.79), or MDD patients (p = 0.31).Similarly, allele frequencies were not significantly different in BD-I [p = 0.58; odds ratio (OR) = 1.12, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.74-1.69], BD-II (p = 0.62; OR = 1.12, 95%CI: 0.69-1.83), or MDD patients (p = 0.89;OR = 0.95, 95% CI: 0.52-1.75). |
