Participant Flow

358 Subjects were recruited via media advertisements and clinical referrals and 355 provided a blood sample for A118G genotyping.

A118G genotyping was performed for 355 of these, 259 were A/A (Asn40) allele and 96 were any G (asp). Of the 259 Asn40 subjects, 89 were selected to participate 5 met exclusion criteria and 7 were lost or declined. Of the 96 Asp subjects, 9 met exclusion; 12 were lost or declined.
