Comparison of SNP Genotypes Related to Proliferative Vitreoretinopathy (PVR) across Slovenian and European Subpopulations

Table 2

Genotype distributions of 4 SNPs in Slovenian patients with PVR and 96 healthy controls. Inheritance models and odds ratios (ORs) were determined.

Abbreviations: OR: odds ratio; 95% CI: 95% confidence interval; ND: patients, in which genotype could not be identified. Inheritance models: additive: each copy of the rare variant modifies the risk; dominant: a single copy of the frequent variant is enough to modify the risk; recessive: two copies of the variant allele are necessary to change the risk; overdominant: heterozygosity modifies the risk. In case of IL2, the inheritance model could be also additive (OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 0.84–1.80; ).
