  1. ß represent the difference in mean birth weight for cigarette smoking between the variant genotype.
  2. + ß crude.
  3. ++ ß after adjustment for the covariates: gestational age, body mass index, education, family status, parity and blood pressure.
  4. *Test of interaction: a P value is presented for testing the null hypothesis, ß = 0 in multiple linear regression models for the product term, smoking x genotypes.
