  1. 1. The percentage was obtained from dividing the amounts of people in each category by the total number of people of the respective group including all genotypes.
  2. 2. P values were obtained by the chi-square test of genotype distribution categorized by each genotype in respective group.
  3. 3. The number represents how many repeats there is in the microsatellite locus in this genotype.
  4. 4. The new cutoff p-value is 0.0083.
