Numbers in italics represent allele frequencies in each group for each locus. The numbers in plain text represent the number (accompanied by the percentage) of individuals with a given genotype. There are no significant differences in allele or genotype frequencies between patients (n = 89) and healthy control subjects (n = 114) at any of the three loci.  

*

 Patients: three A1/A3, one A3/A3, one A1/A4, and three A2/A3; controls: four A1/A3 and five A2/A3.
