SD indicates standard deviation.
Values for white blood cell (WBC) counts are 106/μL.
Mean values are significantly different for TT strokes versus TG stokes by Mann-Whitney test (U statistic = 78,P = .02).
Mean values are significantly different for strokes versus controls of the TT genotype by Mann-Whitney test (U statistic = 674, P = .004).
