Table 2 Association of gender with 5A/5A,5A/6A,6A/6A in study and control groups

From: A study on genetic polymorphism in Matrix Metalloproteinases-3 in oral submucous fibrosis patients and in healthy individuals

Group	Gender	5A/5A		5A/6A		6A/6A
Group	Gender	Present	Absent	Present	Absent	Present	Absent
Study group	Males	3	25	5	23	20	8
	Females	0	2	0	2	2	0
	Total	3	27	5	25	22	8
Control group	Males	0	18	2	18	18	2
	Females	0	2	0	2	0	2
	Total	0	20	0	20	0	20
Chi square value		0.238		0.429		0.779
p value		0.626		0.513		0.377

The female population included in the study group was 6.7% and in the control group was 10%. The frequency of the 5A/5A, 5A/6A genotype in the study population was present only in males
On computing the Chi-square test there was no significant difference present between the gender and genotypes
