 Distribution of p53 genotypes in patients with cervical cancer and normal controls

LocusPopulation (N)p53 genotypeχ2HW
1–1 (%)2–1 (%)2–2 (%)p Value
N is the number of individuals analysed.
1 at an individual locus indicates the absence of a 16 bp duplication at intron 3, a proline at Bst UI, and the absence of Nci I at intron 6.
2 at individual locus indicates the presence of a 16 bp duplication at intron 3, an arginine at Bst UI, and the presence of Nci I at intron 6.
χ2HW stands for χ2 for deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
