FIGURE 2 Survival did not correlate with allele status. There was no statistically significant difference between the median survival of homozygous (50.7 months) and heterozygous (38.5 months) alleles (p = 0.40).

FIGURE 3 Survival correlated with the number of dinucleotide repeats when dichotomized by mean sum of alleles. Allele sum of less than or equal to 35 had a median overall survival of 29.2 months (95% CI, 21.3–51.4 months), whereas patients with an allele sum greater than 35 had a median overall survival of 41.0 months (95% CI, 35.8–66.3 months; HR, 0.66; p = 0.03).
