Association between IL6 SNPs and MD in Norwegian women, Singapore Chinese women, and the combined analysis including both populations.

aFrom linear regression models adjusting for age at mammogram (continuous) and BMI at mammogram (continuous). Additive genetic model was used. bFrom linear regression models adjusting for age at mammogram (continuous) and BMI at mammogram (continuous) and dialect group (Cantonese, Hokkien). Additive genetic model was used. rs11766273, rs1880241, rs2069833 and rs7776857were excluded from the Singapore study because of low MAF. cFrom linear regression models adjusting for age at mammogram (continuous) and BMI at mammogram (continuous) and ethnic and dialect group (Norwegian, Cantonese, Hokkien). Additive genetic model was used. dRisk allele; the risk allele was defined based on the minor allele in the Norwegian sample. eRiske allele frequency.
