Effect of CGG repeat length on the mean cytokine concentrations. (A) Each log-transformed averaged cytokine basal concentration was regressed on the number of CGG repeats. Results of the linear modeling include the beta coefficient, the standard error (se), the Student’s t-test P value associated with the coefficient of the CGG variable and R 2, the fraction of variance explained by the number of CGG repeats. The highlighted results describe the cytokine (mIL-10) for which the number of CGG repeats is significantly associated after multiple testing correction. (B) The regression plot represents the logarithm of the mean IL-10 basal concentration (in pg/ml) as the function of the CGG repeats. Each mean value (average of the two repeated measures) is represented by a diamond, and the error bar corresponds to the mean ± standard deviation. The regression line shows the fit of the data for which the equation of regression is also given.
