Identification of Susceptibility Genes for Peritoneal, Ovarian, and Deep Infiltrating Endometriosis Using a Pooled Sample-Based Genome-Wide Association Study

Table 2

Distribution of genotype and allele frequencies in cases and controls. NA: not applicable, OR: odds ratio, 95% CI: 95% confidence interval, CTR: controls, SUP: superficial peritoneal endometriosis, OMA: endometrioma, and DIG: deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) with intestinal involvement. values are for the Pearson's chi-square test. OR and 95% CI are computed for comparison between OMA or DIG and CTR. Phet: value for heterogeneity across discovery and replication steps calculated using the Breslow-Day test. Detailed results for the 21 SNPs tested are available as Supplemental Tables 6 and 8. Detailed results for all subtypes of DIE are available as Supplemental Table 7.
