Associations of AD with HLA-B7 and HLA-Cw*0702 by zygosity

Allele
Homozygotes/heterozygotes/negatives(n)
Unadjustedodds ratios of AD (95% CI, p) (versus negatives)




Controls
AD


HLA-B7
0/42/157
7/58/131
Heterozygotes: 1.7 (1.02–2.7, 0.04)



Homozygotes: 18.0 (1.6–202, 0.0045)
HLA-Cw*0702
1/46/152
9/58/128
Heterozygotes: 1.5 (0.9–2.4, 0.09)



Homozygotes: 10.7 (1.6–72.0, 0.007)

AD = Alzheimer's disease, CI = confidence interval.

Analyses were unadjusted since there were too few homozygotes for regression analysis
