Values are listed in the following order: Caucasian cases (n = 185); Turkish cases (n = 47).
Values are listed in the following order: Caucasian controls (n = 5,437); Turkish controls (n = 1,779). HLA types of the 5437 Caucasian controls were previously reported in Gourh et al. (19).
Metaanalysis P values (Pmeta) were corrected for 10 comparisons with Bonferroni correction.
These HLA alleles are in LD.
