Table 1. Characteristics of participants of the study
Note: 1 — mean value ± standard deviation (min–max); 2 — mean value ± standard error (min–max)
Table 2. Occurrence of genotypes of the studied SNPs in exposed individuals with and without MN
Note: 1 — observed heterozygosity; 2 — expected heterozygosity; 3 — significance of deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg law (at p > 0.05); 4 — significance of the odds ratio indicator (OR).
Table 3. Indicators of systemic immunity in carriers of various genotypes of the studied SNPs, "Exposed without MN" group
Note: 1 — number in parentheses after name of the genotype is the number of its carriers among the participants; 2 — significance by Mann–Whitney U test; * — significance at p > 0.05, Mann–Whitney U test, IL content (pg/ml), between carriers of different genotypes.
