Contrastingly, a highly significant difference in the frequency of occurrence of TT genotype versus the combined genotypes CC and CT in cases and controls was found [(p value= 0.006), OR (95% CI): 5.505 (1.460-20.756) ] i.e. the homozygous mutant genotype TT was more prevalent in cases compared to control group ( Table 2 ).
