However, the gender-stratified analyses revealed marginally significant effects in heterozygote model analyses in women ( P = 0.053).
However, the gender-stratified analyses revealed marginally significant effects in heterozygote model analyses in women ( P = 0.053).
In the gender subgroup, no significant association was detected under all the genetic models, except that a borderline significant association was detected of female PD in the heterozygous genetic models (OR, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.00–1.74; P = 0.053) in the pooled populations ( Figure 3 , Table 4 ).
First, there is marginal significance among female PD patients, which encourages us; further research on the association of gender of PD and COMT Val158/108Met polymorphism should be carried out.
