The intragroup comparison (n = 117 patients, n = 142 controls) of CR1 expression (RFI) with regard to the CR1 5507 standard allele homozygotes (CC) versus G mutant allele carriers (CG+GG). The data are expressed as whisker box plots; the box represents the 25-75th percentiles, the median is indicated by a bar across the box, the whiskers on each box represent the minimum and maximum level. P = 0.0003 when comparing levels between patients and controls.
