Table 8. Frequency of M98K in individuals from different populations

Under the fixed effects Mantel-Haenszel model, individual study 95% confidence interval bounds around the odds ratio are given. For compatibility with much of the published literature the two-sided Fisher's exact test p values are given for each study. Although the presence of M98K mutations in OAG cases appears to be statistically significant relative to controls, Alward et al. [11] reported that when multi-testing is taken into account their result becomes nonsignificant. Information from Leung et al. [35] was omitted because it duplicated the information contained in Fan et al. [15]. Data from Toda et al. [37] were omitted because they duplicated the observations contained in Tang et al. [20]. Pigmentary and exfoliative data were omitted from the Europe (Caucasians living in Iowa and Australia) samples reported by Alward et al. [11]. Rezaie et al. [9] reported a p value=2.18-7.
