The table shows, for each given pair of haplotypes, the fold change in OR (from additive effect only) due to interaction. The amino acids column and row denote the residues at HLA-DQβ1 position 57, HLA-DRβ1 position 13 and HLA-DRβ1 position 71 corresponding to each haplotype. For each haplotype pair, the P value of the interaction term is shown in parentheses. Cells in bold indicate interactions that are significant after Bonferroni correction (P < 0.05/21 = 0.0024). The OR of a given diploid genotype is calculated as additive effecthaplotype 1 × additive effecthaplotype 2 × interactionhaplotype 1, haplotype 2 (Supplementary Table 9).
