3.5. The relationship between rs1224141 and pSS susceptibility in random health controls and pSS patients
There were no statistical differences in rs1224141 in pSS patients and health controls (Table 2). Because of heterogeneity (Figures 5a, 5b and 5c), the genotype of GG, GT and TT chose the fixed model. For rs1224141, OR values, 95% CIs and P values for each genotype and allele are shown in Table 2. There was no relationship between rs1224141 and pSS susceptibility (OR [95% CI], p-value: TT=0.75[0.53-1.05], p=0.09, GT=1.24[0.88-1.75], p=0.22 and GG=2.32[0.77-7.00], p=0.14) (Table 2, Figures 5a, 5b and 5c).
