mRNA expression level and SNP genotype. (a) mRNA expression level of MICB in each genotype of rs3132468. The rs3132468–C allele was associated with lower mRNA expression level of MICB (P = 0.0267 and partial regression coefficient = −0.126). (b) mRNA expression level of PLCE1 in each genotype of rs3765524. The rs3765524–C allele was not associated with mRNA expression level of PLCE1 (P = 0.0863 and partial regression coefficient = 0.0209). A regression line is represented by a dashed line. The number of samples for each genotype is presented in parentheses.
