ORs and 95% CIs are for carriage of the TT genotype. Control subjects were used as reference for all comparisons. P values were corrected for multiple model testing using the Bonferroni adjustment. See Table 2 for other definitions.

The Illumina iControlDB database was queried to ascertain the SNP genotype frequencies in 3,172 white controls (CC 2,232 [70.4%], CT 863 [27.2%], TT 77 [2.4%]). The Cancer Genetic Markers of Susceptibility (CGEMS) database was queried to ascertain the SNP genotype frequencies in 1,094 white controls (CC 752 [68.7%], CT 316 [28.9%], TT 26 [2.4%]).
