CC genotype was used as the reference category.

Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) from the unconditional logistic regression models adjusted for age, menopausal status, and, in combined analyses, by study.

P for heterogeneity of the association of the rs2228570 SNP with risk by study was estimated using a Wald test of the genotype-study interaction term.

Note: statistically significant associations are presented in bold font (P<0.05).
