Table 4. Analysis of gene-gene interactions using common polymorphisms

Logistic regression analysis was used to test for interaction between polymorphisms. A stratified analysis (Breslow-Day tests for homogeneity of the odds ratios) was used to verify the significant interactions found in logistic regression analysis. The table shows p values for these tests.
