Table 6. Summary of significant associations between the chemokine polymorphisms and idiopathic posterior segment uveitis

This table shows the effect of chemokine SNPs on the phenotype of idiopathic posterior segment uveitis. Logistic regression model was used to perform the statistical calculations. Results show that chemokine SNPs can affect the phenotype of idiopathic posterior segment uveitis and can be predictors of severity and complications. Asterisk indicates idiopathic posterior segment uveitis.
