Endothelial Nitric Oxide Synthase Gene Polymorphisms and the Risk of Hypertension in an Indian Population

Table 3

Measures of linkage disequilibrium observed in a pairwise comparison of the two polymorphisms of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene among the study population.

Variant 1	Variant 2				Linkage disequilibrium
eNOS 4	eNOS 7	−0.144	0.0172	12.04	In linkage disequilibrium
eNOS 4	eNOS T786C	0.125	0.0043	3.01	Not in linkage disequilibrium
eNOS 7	eNOS T786C	−0.309	0.0054	3.78	Not in linkage disequilibrium

: Lewontin’s standardized disequilibrium coefficient.
: squared correlation coefficient for pairwise linkage disequilibrium between two loci.
: Chi-square value.
