  1. a Sample selected by at least one COMT genotype and absence of E4. Reference category was sample control. b Total sample with any exclusion, control sample was reference. b1 Total sample with any exclusion, female control sample was reference. b2 Total sample with any exclusion, male control sample was reference. b3Sample selected by at least one E4 and none COMT G allele. Reference category was sample control. c Sample selected by at least one E4 and COMT genotype. d Sample selected by at least one E4, COMT genotype and gender. *In all cases, reference category was control sample.
