If the p value corresponding to a given χ² value and number of degrees of freedom is lower than 0.05, then the null hypothesis is rejected and it can be said with some confidence that the two genes being evaluated are linked.

A p-value lower than 0.05 typically indicates that there is a statistically significant difference from the null hypothesis, which in this context suggests that the two genes being evaluated are indeed linked, as the chance occurrence of the observed data (or more extreme) under the null hypothesis is less than 5%.
