Distribution of mean first age of infection with P aeruginosa according to TNFα genotypes
| TNFα SNP | Mean (SD) first age of infection with P aeruginosa* | Mean difference | 95% CI | p value† | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| *The analysis was performed by a two sample t test. There may be a difference in the number of genotypes typed for the different SNPs because gap filling of data could not always be done successfully. | |||||
