aP-values were calculated with Fisher's exact test. Genotypes in cases and controls were consistent with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Frequencies of genotypes were also not significantly different between patients and controls (P = 0.52, exact Fisher Freeman Halton test). CI, confidence interval; MAF, minor allele frequency; OR, odds ratio.
