In subjects carrying the SNP3^G allele, the frequency of SNP8^T/T in CD cases was significantly higher than controls (P=0.008, OR=1.8, 95%CI: 1.1~ 2.9), while no significant difference was observed within subjects not carrying SNP3^G. On the other hand, in CD subjects carrying SNP8^T/T, the frequency of SNP3^G+ was nominally higher than in controls (P=0.024, OR=1.6, 95%CI: 1.0~2.4), but no difference was observed within subjects not carrying SNP8^T/T (P>0.05) (Table 4, Figure 4).
