Fig. 1 (Top) Hb levels and (bottom) EPO-Hb ratios of patients with different BsmI genotypes. Bars represent 95% CIs for mean. Hb levels in patients with the BB genotype were significantly lower than those in patients with the bb genotype (P = 0.004). EPO-Hb ratios were significantly greater in patients with the BB genotype than those with the Bb (P = 0.039) and bb genotypes (P = 0.002).
