We found marginal association of the SNP rs6517135 with CP (p = 0.044) at the genotype level, and the association was greatly strengthened when we focused on the subgroup of CP infants who suffered from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) after birth, with p = 0.003 (OR = 0.558) at the allele level and p = 0.007 at the genotype level, indicating a risk-associated role of the T allele of the SNP rs6517135 under HIE conditions.
