  • 2-150 11/12, raw numbers of 1,1 and 1,2 alleles at IL-1RN (VNTR). Allele 1 has four repeats and allele 2 has two repeats of 86 base pairs.

  • 2-151 22, raw numbers of 2,2 homozygotes at IL-1RN (VNTR).

  • N/A, Odds ratio and p value not applicable as one of the values in the contingency table is 0.

  • MH, Mantel–Haenzsel summary statistic; MVD, multiple vessel disease; SVD, single vessel disease.
