Estimated haplotype frequencies among smokers with a fast decline in lung function and in those with no decline in lung function

HaplotypeGly16/Glu 27Gly16/Gln27Arg16/Glu27Arg16/Gln27
There was no significant difference in haplotype frequencies between the two groups. Frequencies were estimated using the EM algorithm implemented in the Arlequin software package.
Fast decline0.470.1800.35
No decline0.480.1600.36
Total0.470.1700.36
