  • Genotype frequencies are shown in parentheses (%). Associations were tested in comparison with the CLD(-) RA population by Fisher's exact test using 2x2 contingency tables under the recessive model.

  • CLD, chronic lung disease; ILD, interstitial lung disease; RA, rheumatoid arthritis; UIP, usual interstitial pneumonia.
