 Allele frequency of CX36 SNPs in JME cases and controls

SNP*Alleles, n (%)p Value†FunctionProtein residueAmino acid positiondbSNP ID
ND, Not determined. dbSNP, public database reference (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP).
*SNP offset were calculated taking the A of the CX36 start codon as position 1, and using the GenBank accession no. NM_020660; †p Values computed using Fisher’s exact test, give the significance value of the comparison of SNPs allele frequencies between JME and control cases. Statistically significant associations are underlined; ‡OR = 1.89; 95% CI 1.03 to 3.45 (odds ratios and their associated 95% CI were calculated for results with p<0.05); §OR = 1.5; 95% CI 1.04 to 2.17.
