Lung cancer adjusted odds ratios (OR)a for each percentage point increase in %MMA, in analyses stratified by cystathionine synthase (CBS) polymorphism

Polymorphism N ORb 95% CI
CBS rs234709 CC (wildtype) 45 0.89 0.74–1.07
CBS rs234709 CT or TT (non-wildtype) 60 1.10 0.99–1.22
CBS rs4920037 GG (wildtype) 68 1.04 0.94–1.15
CBS rs4920037 GA and AA (non-wildtype) 38 1.14 0.91–1.42
a

Logistic regression odds ratio where the dependent variable is lung cancer case status and the independent variable is %MMA as a continuous variable. The values given are the odds ratio and its 95% confidence interval for each 1% increase in %MMA.

b

Adjusted for age (≤ 65 versus > 65 years old), gender, smoking (ever versus never), and highest level of past known arsenic exposure (no well use, no measurement, 0–99 μg/L, ≥ 100 μg/L). Only includes subjects with arsenic metabolite concentrations above the detection limit.
