Study Findings

The Study Findings table contains information on the genetic findings of a particular NESHIE or CP genetic study. Variants with statistically-significant associations with NESHIE or CP have p-values < 0.05. Odds ratio values quantify the strength of association of a variant allele with NESHIE or CP.
