Figure 2. Non-parametric linkage results summary (presented as negative logs of the p-values) of the 2 genome-wide scans for low caries susceptibility loci (DMFT categories 1 and 2, assigned as ‘affected’) and high caries susceptibility loci (DMFT categories 3 and 4, assigned as ‘affected’) in 46 families. Bars indicate the –log linear of the most significant p values in each chromosome. In addition to chromosome X (p = 0.00005), chromosomes 5 (p = 0.001), 6 (p = 0.009), 13 (p = 0.006), and 22 (p = 0.004) presented interesting results. DMFT = Decayed, Missing due to caries, Filled Teeth; single low = single-point linkage analysis in low caries susceptibility; multi low = multipoint linkage analysis in low caries susceptibility; single high = single-point linkage analysis in high caries susceptibility; multi high = multipoint linkage analysis in high caries susceptibility.
