Despite the small size of this family based dataset, a borderline level of statistical significance was observed (p = .046) supporting the validity of this SNP as an MS susceptibility locus using a family-based association test.
Two chlordane metabolites were also associated with increased risk of TGCT at a borderline level of statistical significance: oxychlordane and trans-nonachlor (pWilcoxon = 0.05 and 0.07, respectively).
In particular, CDKN2B methylation was more common in lobular than ductal breast carcinoma at a borderline level of significance (10/22, 45% versus 14/64, 22% with all groups included, P = 0.052 by Fisher's test).
This does not explain why, after progressively approaching unity, the relative risk of nodal metastases decreased again – although at a borderline level of significance – for SD cases of larger size.
In only one run, the first at 0.23 mT, was there a difference at a borderline level of significance (P=0.012) between dicentric aberration yields in ELF-exposed and sham-exposed cultures, that is, ELF>sham.
In this model personality disorders like obsessive-compulsive or depressive-masochistic PD are on a neurotic level, histrionic, dependent, and narcissistic on a higher borderline level, and borderline, paranoid, schizoid, and antisocial on a lower borderline level of personality organization.
