Overall model fit: χ2 = 33.50, p =.0002, R2 = 0.3502

Note. For each model, the first three principal components identified from the analysis of ancestry informative markers as well as self-report race/ethnicity (i.e., White, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/mixed ethnic background/other) were retained in all models to adjust for potential confounding due to race or ethnicity (data not shown). Predictors evaluated in each model included genotype (IL6 rs2069845: AA + AG versus GG; IL13 rs1295686: GG versus GA + AA; TNFA rs1800610: CC versus CT + TT), age (in 5-year increments), KPS score (in 10-point increments), and whether the patient lives alone (No/Yes). CI =confidence interval; KPS = Karnofsky Performance Status; IL = interleukin; TNFA = tumor necrosis factor alpha.
