A single-nucleotide polymorphism rs708567 in the IL-17RC gene is associated with a susceptibility to and the curve severity of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis in a Chinese Han population: a case-control study

Table 2 Distribution of the genotype and allele frequencies of SNP rs708567 in the IL-17RC gene in AIS patients (n = 529) and controls (n = 512)

SNP	Genotype/Allele	Group, n (%)		P-value	OR (95% Confidence Interval)
SNP	Genotype/Allele	AIS	Controls	P-value	OR (95% Confidence Interval)
rs708567	GG	477 (90.17%)	438 (85.55%)	0.023	1.550 (1.062 - 2.261)
	AG	52 (9.83%)	74 (14.45%)		0.645 (0.442 - 0.941)
