Linked disequilibria werepresent in five SNPs, with the AGATA haplotype frequency in patients significantly lower than in healthy subjects(P = 0.023). Luciferase activity of the rs3759755-A recombinant plasmid was significantly higher than that of thers3759755-C recombinant plasmid (P = 0.026), and the rs8020095-A recombinant plasmid activity was significantlyhigher than that of the rs8020095-G recombinant plasmid (P = 0.001).
