“…The studies used various genotyping methods, including polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, polymerase chain reaction with sequence-specific primers and TaqMan analysis. Five studies were not in agreement with the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium of the genotype distribution in the controls [ 11 , 12 , 20 , 32 , 36 ]. Seven studies enrolled Indian subjects [ 25 , 27 , 30 – 32 , 35 , 36 ], and eight enrolled Chinese subjects [ 11 , 12 , 19 , 20 , 22 , 24 , 26 , 27 ].…”
