When a study has tested 500 cases and 500 controls, and has not found

How do I based on these numbers calculated a maximum frequency of the
mutation in the population studied? With 95% Confidence interval? Is it
possible in STATA?

One of the smart things in Stata is the immediate commands:

. cii 1000 0 , binomial

                                                         -- Binomial

    Variable |        Obs        Mean    Std. Err.       [95% Conf.
Interval]

.0036821*
(*) one-sided, 97.5% confidence interval

Hope this helps
