Doherty and Zinkernagel [ 20 ] demonstrated using congenic mice that MHC homozygotes had more vigorous immune responses to lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) than the corresponding homozygotes, but since the pathology of the infection they used is due to the immune response, the enhanced immune response actually resulted in reduced survival.
In heterozygous infants with the WT/ΔF508 genotype, sweat chloride excretion is elevated 1.5-fold over normal values compared to a tenfold increase in homozygous patients with the ΔF508/ΔF508 genotype [ 32 ] . Adult heterozygous patients have fewer problems with respiratory infections compared to homozygotes [ 5 ] . Our findings that bile acid absorption was moderately increased in heterozygotes and markedly increased in homozygotes were therefore not unexpected.
We assume that SS homozygotes have a probability x of a favorable disease course, and that SS heterozygotes (carrying two different susceptible alleles), SR heterozygotes, RR heterozygotes, and RR homozygotes have probabilities ax , bx , cx , and dx respectively (see Table 1).
In order to perform genotype by network score associations, biallelic loci were assigned a '1' for A/A homozygotes, a '2' for A/B heterozygotes and a '3' for B/B heterozygotes.
