The two groups did not differ significantly in age (P = 0.642), sex (P = 0.506), abnormal WBC count (P = 0.924), medium or severe anemia (P = 0.598), thrombocytopenia (P = 0.367), hypofibrinogenemia (P = 0.839), hypertriglyceridemia (P = 0.872), abnormal ALT (P = 0.255), abnormal AST (P = 0.511), or significantly increased ferritin (<6000 ng/mL versus ≥6000 ng/mL, P = 0.163). The gene discussed is GPT; the disease is anemia.
