When examining the mean scores of females carrying the different rs7632287 genotypes, the same pattern was seen in both the TOSS and TCHAD samples: women carrying one or two copies of the A-allele scored lower on both the PBS (d=0.15) and RQS (d=0.28) scales than did women carrying two copies of the G-allele. No difference between carriers of one or two copies of A-alleles was detected (Table 3). Therefore, in further analyses of these two cohorts A-allele carriers were combined into one category and compared to women carrying two copies of the G-allele.
