The sentences
As the significant findings obtained with c.−436C>A were limited to the assumption of an additive inheritance mode, the association of c.334+46C>T being of borderline significance was not pursued further.
c.334+46C>T, an intronic FAS variant which was associated with marginal significance, was not linked to −436C>A and followed a discordant model of inheritance.
