Bold values indicate a significant result with P < 0.05
Main effect of haplotype was analyzed by comparison of H1/H1 (Controls + PD) versus H2/H2 (Controls + PD). Main effect of disease was analyzed by comparison of PD (H1/H1 + H2/H2) versus Controls (H1/H1 + H2/H2). The interaction haplotype × disease examined the relationship between the independent variables (haplotype + disease) on the dependent variable of protein levels. P values were calculated using two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test
ctx-fg, cortex of fusiform gyrus; ctx-cbl, cerebellum.
