†The number 1 and 2 indicate, respectively, the major and minor allele.
‡Significant difference in the distribution between the case and control groups after Bonferroni correction.
§The relative risk is 0.39 (95% confidence interval (CI) 0.22 to 0.72) and power for the allele distribution of HTR2C is approximately 87% with α= 0.05.
¶The relative risk is 0.35 (95% CI 0.20 to 0.59) and power for the allele distribution of HTR7 is about 98% with α= 0.05.
