*

OR=Unadjusted odds ratio for XRCC1 Arg399Gln: XRCC1 Arg/Arg (ref) vs. any Gln, never moking (ref) vs. ever smoking, random effects estimates

OR=Unadjusted odds ratio for XRCC1 Arg399Gln: XRCC1 Arg/Arg (ref) vs. any Gln, not current smoker (ref) vs. current smoker, fixed effects estimates

OR=Unadjusted odds ratio for XRCC1 Arg399Gln: XRCC1 Arg/Arg (ref) vs. any Gln, lightest smokers (ref) vs. heaviest smokers [lightest excludes never smokers], fixed effects

§

PY contrast is between lightest non-zero category of pack-years (ref) vs. heaviest category of PY

Ratio of Odds Ratios: Compares odds ratio in given study characteristic stratum to the odds ratio in the designated reference stratum for that study characteristic by meta-regression

**

Studies that can be stratified by ethnicity are included as separate single-ethnicity studies; studies w 99%–100% of 1 ethnicity are classified as single-ethnicity

††

Only includes studies with explicitly stated ethnic makeup

‡‡

White = Caucasian, white or non-Hispanic white; African American = African American or black; Han = Han, Han Chinese or ethnic Chinese; Japan, Korea and China may include ethnic minorities.

§§

Median of studies included in XRCC1 399 current/not current smoker analyses.

□□

Categories based on thirds from studies included in XRCC1 399 PY analyses (<=59y, >59y–63y, >63y)

***

Median of all studies w age info (all SNPs) w age info [range:23.6–69y, mean: 56.51y SD: 9.84y]

†††

Median proportion male in all studies (all SNPs, all smoking exposures): 0.69

‡‡‡

For 399 ever-never 1 study from Hungary is included using MAF as proxy for ethnicity

§§§

Smoking prevalence is contrast-specific (defined as "ever", "current" or "heavier PY" as appropriate)
