North Europe here comprises Bonn, Bristol, Nottingham, Oxford and Rotterdam; North Spain comprises Oviedo and Santander Nominally significant interactions are in bold;

SNP = single nucleotide polymorphism; PPARA, IL1A, IL1B and IL10 are the genes for peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α, interleukin-1α, interleukin-1β and interleukin-10, respectively.
