Table 1. Frequency of APOE genotypes and alleles
There were significant differences in the apolipoprotein E (APOE) genotype and allele frequencies between the open angle glaucoma (OAG) and control groups (p=0.0006 and p=0.0030, respectively; χ2 test). Each genotype is being compared to all other genotypes collectively. Data are presented as counts (percentages are in parentheses) and are calculated from the alleles of 310 patients and 179 controls (2 in each individual). Statistical tests reported in this table used Fisher's exact test.
