D) 179 (9) In an epidemiological survey for a rare disease, 1170 subjects from a city population were recruited. Based on the mouse study, a human ortholog might be a candidate gene involved in the human disease and thus was genotyped for the 1170 people. There are two alleles at a position of this gene, a major, reference allele G and a minor allele A. Among 90 people with the A allele, 50 had the disease under study and 40 were healthy. Among 1080 people with G allele, 120 had the disease while others were healthy. What is the risk ratio or relative risk for the minor allele? A) 0.1 B) 0.125 C) 10 D) 8
