  • Allele frequencies are shown in parenthesis (%). Significance of associations was tested by Fisher's exact test using 2×2 contingency tables. Adjustment for multiple comparisons was performed using the Bonferroni method. Pc values were calculated by multiplying the p value by the number of alleles tested (24 alleles for HLA-A).

  • HLA, human leukocyte antigen; MI-ILD(+), RA with MI-ILD; MI-ILD(−), RA without MI-ILD; NS, not significant; Pc, corrected p value; RA, rheumatoid arthritis.
