You will be given a definition of a task first, then some input of the task.
In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Context: We wanted to determine whether genetic variability in the gene encoding microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX) contributes to individual differences in susceptibility to the occurrence of placental abruption.', 'The study involved 117 women with placental abruption and 115 healthy control pregnant women who were genotyped for two single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), T-->C (Tyr113His) in exon 3 and A-->G (His139Arg) in exon 4, in the EPHX gene. Chi-square analysis was used to assess genotype and allele frequency differences between the women with placental abruption and the control group. In addition, single-point analysis was expanded to pair of loci haplotype analysis to examine the estimated haplotype frequencies of the two SNPs, of unknown phase, among the women with placental abruption and the control group. Estimated haplotype frequencies were assessed using the maximum-likelihood method, employing an expectation-maximization algorithm.', 'Single-point allele and genotype distributions in exons 3 and 4 of the EPHX gene were not statistically different between the groups. However, in the haplotype estimation analysis we observed a significantly decreased frequency of haplotype C-A (His113-His139) among the placental abruption group compared with the control group (P = .007). The odds ratio for placental abruption associated with the low-activity haplotype C-A (His113-His139) was 0.552 (95% confidence interval, 0.358 to 0.851).\Question: Is low-activity haplotype of the microsomal epoxide hydrolase gene protective against placental abruption?
Output:
The use of two intragenic SNPs jointly in haplotype analysis of association demonstrated that the genetically determined low-activity haplotype C-A (His113-His139) was significantly less frequent in women with placental abruption.
