  • a P values are given for chi-square test of both dominant (left value) and recessive (right value) genetic models comparing differences in genotype numbers for the indicated ALF group with the summed genotype numbers for the other two ALF groups. Only one P value is listed for the UGT1A9, CYP2E1*1D, and CYP3A5 polymorphisms because no homozygous variant genotype individuals were found, so only the dominant model could be tested.

  • b P < 0.05.
