Table 2 Evidence of interaction between multiple loci and gender in cases

^aFour variations of the 2 × N contingency table were constructed for each marker in the significant patterns in Table 1 and for each significant pattern with the observed N genotypes as rows. Each contingency table has two columns for case and control. In "Without gender partition", individuals were grouped and allocated to table cells according to genotypes regardless of their gender. In "With gender partition", individuals were grouped together according to genotypes and gender with each combination of genotype and gender as a row. In "Males only", only males were grouped and allocated to table cells according to genotypes. In "Females only", only females were grouped and allocated to table cells according to genotypes.
^bBold font indicates results for males only.
