aModel 1: Arsenic metabolite (%iAs or %DMA or %MMA)=α+β×N6AMT1 haplo­type+γ×U-As (ln transformed). Model2: Arsenic metabolite=α+β×N6AMT1 haplo­type+γ×U-As (ln)+λ×AS3MT haplo­type2. bNumber of copies of each haplo­type associated with lower %MMA are denoted first. cMean values and 95% CIs are adjusted values based on model1.
