Table 3. Allele and genotype frequencies and results of association tests of the Met299Val polymorphism in the elongation of very long chain fatty acids-like 4 gene

The genotype and allele frequencies are shown for cases and controls (A). Familial and sporadic age-related macular degeneration (AMD) cases are compared to non-AMD controls (B) and blood donor controls (C) for the Met299Val polymorphism in the elongation of very long chain fatty acids-like 4 (ELOVL4) gene. The p values, odds ratios (ORs), and confidence intervals (CI) are for the comparision of familial and sporadic AMD cases to non-AMD and blood donor controls within each group.
