3.3. The relationship between rs1041569 and pSS susceptibility in random health controls and pSS patients
There was a statistical difference in rs1041569 in pSS patients and health controls (Table 2). Because of heterogeneity (Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d and 3e), the genotype of AA, AT and TT and the allele of A and T chose the fixed model. For rs1041569, OR values, 95% CIs and P values for each genotype and allele are shown in Table 2. There was a relationship between the genotype of TT in rs1041569 and pSS susceptibility (OR [95% CI], p-value: AA=0.96[0.74-1.26], p=0.78, AT=0.91[0.70-1.20], p=0.52, TT=4.62[1.59-13.43], p=0.00, A=0.95[0.70-1.27], p=0.72, and T=1.06[0.78-1.42], p=0.72) (Table 2, Figures 3a, 3b, 3c, 3d and 3e).
