aPower based on normal approximation with continuity correction.
0R carriers refer to individuals with the allele 0R including 0R/0R + 0R/1R + 0R/2R + 0R/3R, 1R carriers refer to individuals with allele 1R including 0R/1R + 1R/1R + 10R/2R + 1R/3R, 2R carriers refer to individuals with allele 2R including 0R/2R + 1R/2R + 2R/2R + 2R/3R, and 3R carriers refer to individuals with allele 3R including 0R/3R + 1R/3R + 2R/3R + 3R/3R.
#We calculated value for the 0R carriers and compared the allele 0R carrier’s individuals in the controls and patients against the entire individual without the allele 0R in the controls and patients, respectively; the other value for the allele R carriers was calculated according to this formula.
