Low frequency Non-Wild 0.41 (−12.08 – 12.95) 7.97 (−17.27 – 33.20)
GSTT1 Standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals Deletion 1.23 (−4.38 – 6.84) −3.83 (−14.4 – 6.740)
Standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals Non-Deletion −1.73 (−5.11 – 1.64) −2.94 (−9.37– 3.51)
HFE (rs1800562) Standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals Wild −1.46 (−4.61 –1.69) −5.35 (−11.26– 0.55)
Standard deviation of normal-to-normal intervals Non-Wild 1.41 (−5.15 – 7.93) 4.48 (−8.54 – 17.50)

Interquartile ranges (IQR) of 7-day moving averages of PM2.5 and BC were 4.56 and 0.49 μg/m3, respectively.
