Table 2. Haplotype analysis of PLEKHA1, LOC387715, and HTRA1 SNPs in cases and controls

Upper panel shows frequencies of estimated common haplotypes in cases and controls. Other possible allelic combinations involved too few individuals for haplotype estimation. Lower panel presents risk of age-related macular degeneration associated with common haplotypes, estimated by odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals after age and sex adjustment for each haplotype combination. The reference haplotype corresponds to the most prevalent in controls.
