association study confusionhi all,
i'm trying to include some population genetics information in a paper i'm currently writing and i've come across a problem with a paper i'd like to use. the pubmed link is as follows (i don't know if i am allowed to attach the paper itself): http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16804517?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum Now for my two questions: 1.) what is the difference between relative risk (RR) and genotype relative risk (GRR)? 2.) what do the numbers under the different models in table 2 mean? why does recessive model have infinity for each study included in the meta-analysis? i'm thinking the values i asked about above describe the likelyhood of each model but how do i know which ones are significant and which ones are not also could someone rephrase part of the caption in table 2? "M vs W allele for the multiplicative model, MM and MW vs WW for the dominant model and MM vs MW and WW for the recessive model" I would appreciate any help that you guys/gals can offer Thank you
