  • OR were calculated by comparing each group with the corresponding reference group [individuals without HLA–DRB1 risk alleles (*01:01, *04:01, *04:04, *04:05, *04:08, *04:10, *09:01, *10:01)], adjusted for age and sex. HLA–DRB1 shared epitope (SE) indicates *01:01, *04:01, *04:04, *04:05, *04:08, *04:10, and *10:01. Subjects with no available smoking history or the rare alleles (*0102, *1402, and *1406) were excluded from the analysis.

  • †† The attributable proportions (AP), relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), and synergy index (S) were calculated for gene-environmental interaction.

  • # Not statistically significant (p > 0.05). RA: rheumatoid arthritis.
