In addition to the SNPs that were previously studied we included 132 SNPs from 14 genes emphasizing genes from the complement coagulation pathway that were not previously represented because of strong associations between SNPs in this pathway and PTB previously identified in EA.
As previously discussed, we included a healthy basophil donor, whose IgE cannot be recognized by the monoclonal anti-IgE antibody clone from the Allergenicity Kit.
As previously noted, we included three additional malignancies (melanoma and cervical and prostate cancer) in our assessment that were not included in the Smitten et al. meta-analysis [ 6].
If sequences were previously named, we included a cross-reference to the original nomenclature (Bet v 1a-n) as well as to the nomenclature of the allergen nomenclature committee (Bet v 1.0101 to 1.3101) [ 19].
As described previously, 14 15 16 17 we included open label and double blind randomised controlled trials comparing one statin with another at any dose or with control (placebo, diet, or usual care) for adults with, or at risk of developing, cardiovascular disease.
Previously we only included the planned t-tests.
Because the cytokine suppression profile of patients with RA has not been analyzed previously, we also included two patients from this group for these functional studies.
As previously, we again included condition (push, pull, free push, free pull), sex, age (juvenile versus adult), year (2007 versus 2009) and presence (present versus not present during initial phase) as the fixed factors.
Likewise, long-term follow-up in this clinical cohort has not previously been described.We included consecutive pediatric patients under the age of 2, from Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, who underwent cranial vault reconstruction with the use of a bioabsorbable fixation system between 2003 and 2010.
To our knowledge, the possible moderating role of deviant parental personality traits on parent child interactions has not been previously examined; hence, we included such a measure in this study.
