Different statistical models used in the calculation of the prevalence of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus according to the polymorphism of the HLA-DQ region.

Abstract excerpt

The use of three statistical models yielded different estimates of the odds ratio relative to the association between the polymorphism in the HLA-DQ region and insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The models used were: (1) the allele-dosage model which assumes that the number of susceptibility alleles has a linear effect on the logarithm of the odds; (2) the reference cell coding method used with alleles...
