Patients with excess blasts (RAEB1/2) tended to have lower AMC (median 0.19 versus 0.32 for patients without excess blasts, p < 0.0001) and lower AMC were found in higher IPSS-R categories (very low, 0.37 × 109/L; low, 0.30 × 109/L; intermediate, 0.25 × 109/L; high, 0.16 × 109/L; very high, 0.20 × 109/L), while there was a highly significant difference in the AMC between higher risk (intermediate, high, very high) and lower risk (very low and low) MDS according to the IPSS-R (0.21 × 10 9 /L vs 0.33 × 10 9 /L, p < 0.0001).
The results of the present study indicated that PCSK9 was associated with AMI and cardiovascular death, although these associations were only borderline significant and could not be confirmed by Cox regression or extended comparison, which may be due to limitations imposed by the design of the present study and relatively low number of participants.
The primary limitations of the present study are (a) the analysis of GRIK1 mRNA expression in only a limited number of samples and (b) marginally significant associations between the studied genetic variants and ADHD, as is evident from the close to significance p-values, low relative risk, and power of the association tests.
