1

Women with heterozygote and homozygote variant genotypes were combined to avoid cell sizes of <10.

2

Traffic PAH exposures were calculated as units of average annual exposure in 1995. Tertiles: 0–144.50, 144.51–220.35 and ≥220.36 relative units.

p for interaction.

4

Effect estimates and their associated confidence intervals were combined across 30 imputed data sets; sample sizes vary across data sets because some women exceeded the 20% limit on imputation percentage for certain imputation draws.
