( a ) represents the absolute number of positive patients for A/A, A/G, A/G genotypes, respectively.
Comparison genotype ( b ) (G/G versus A/A and A/G); ( c ) (G/G and A/G versus A/A); ( d ) (G/G versus A/A), between patients with and patients without a manifestation was performed by ( e ) Fisher exact test.
