THE HEAT SHOCK PROTEIN 70-2 GENE (RS1061581) ASSOCIATES WITH THE ACUTE OTITIS MEDIUM IN CHILDREN by Л. Сидорчук, О. Саковець

“…The distribution of HSP70-2 (rs1061581) genotypes in the studied cohort generally conformed to the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (χ²=1.36; p=0.243) and did not deviate in allele frequency from the average values observed in Caucasian populations (PA=0.24–0.36; PG=0.64–0.76). Binary logistic regression analysis proved a significant probability of AOM development in A-allele carriers' children under both dominant and additive models (OR=2.01; 95%CI: 1.01–4.06; p=0.05 and OR=2.01; 95%CI: 1.10–3.77; p=0.03), with the lowest out-of-sample Akaike prediction coefficients (AC=16.67 and 15.33). …”
