CI=confidence interval; NTD=normalised total dose; OR=odds ratio.

a

Adjusted for NTD, age the time of late toxicities evaluation, time since radiotherapy (months), clinic, acute skin toxicity, high blood pressure, allergy, pack-years (never, <20, ⩾20), skin type (always/moderate/seldom sunburn), clinic, marital status (single/divorced/widowed, married/partner).

b

A2 allele carries a duplication of 16 bp in intron 3.

c

P=0.06 for effect heterogeneity according to occurrence of acute skin toxicity.

d

Composed of haplotypes with frequencies below 5%.
