Which appears P<0.005?

0Context:02br
02br
00 00Mutations occurred predominantly (in >75% of the children) in MYH7 and MYBPC3; significantly more MYBPC3 missense mutations were detected than occur in adult-onset cardiomyopathy (P<0.005). Neither hypertrophic severity nor contractile function correlated with familial or genetic status. 02br

01font00 I think (P<0.005) refers to "more MYBPC3 missense mutations were detected in childhood-onset cardiomyopathy," not refers to "the same mutations were detected in adult-onset cardiomyopathy."02font02br

00I'm afraid you are grammatically correct but technically wrong on the question regarding P value.02br
02br
00Yet, of course, the method of your thinking is just perfectly CORRECT.02br

00P<0.005 is a statistic "thing" which means that your data is significant. This has been put there in order to justify that "significantly" that is at the beginning of the sentence. In fact in scientific papers you can never write "significantly" if you don't write the value of P. Usually when the value is >0.005 the statistic is not significa
