Some biologists suspect that drugs like resveratrol may act not through the SIRT genes but in some other way, which would mean the results reported last week give no support to the idea that the SIRT genes mediate the response to caloric restriction.
The mean sample size of 3,236 gives us 99.5% power to detect a SNP accounting for 1% of the variance at α = 0.001786 (controlling family-wise error rate at 0.05 for 28 tests), or 82% power to detect a SNP accounting for 0.5%.
Of the 497 microbiologically-confirmed cases of invasive meningococcal disease in the study area, 349 (70.2%) were caused by serogroup B meningococci, 129 (26%) by serogroup C (Table 1), 11 (2.2%) by serogroup Y, 6 (1.2%) by serogroup W-135, and 2 (0.4%) by serogroup A. The mean annual number of cases was 41 (range 23 59), giving a mean annual incidence of 3.6×100,000 inhabitants.
