highly significantp = 9.70×10 −10
When the Class II and Class III SNPs were included in the logistic regression model, the rs4959039 SNP retained a highly significant association with MS susceptibility ( p = 9.70×10 −10 , odds ratio = 1.52).
When the Class II and Class III SNPs were included in the logistic regression model, the rs4959039 SNP retained a highly significant association with MS susceptibility ( p = 9.70×10 −10 , odds ratio = 1.52).
Despite the small size of this family based dataset, a borderline level of statistical significance was observed ( p = .046) supporting the validity of this SNP as an MS susceptibility locus using a family-based association test.
