3.4. The relationship between rs9514828 and pSS susceptibility
in random health controls and pSS patients
There were no statistical differences in rs9514828 in pSS patients and
health controls (Table 2). Because of heterogeneity (Figures 4a, 4b, 4c,
4d and 4e), the genotype of CT and TT and the allele of C and T chose
the fixed model, and the genotype of CC chose the random model. For
rs9514828, OR values, 95% CIs and P values for each genotype and allele
are shown in Table 2. There was no relationship between rs9514828 and
pSS susceptibility (OR [95% CI], p-value: CC=0.99[0.63-1.56],
p=0.98, CT=0.83[0.64-1.07], p=0.15, TT=1.33[0.94-1.87], p=0.10,
C=0.88[0.70-1.12], p=0.31, and T=1.13[0.89-1.43], p=0.31) (Table
2, Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d and 4e).
