We showed that RA disease was more likely with the AA genotype compared with the AG genotype of SNP rs2977537 (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.34-0.84), and with the TT genotype (AOR: 0.24; 95% CI: 0.13-0.39) or the GG genotype (AOR: 0.05; 95% CI: 0.03-0.10) compared with the GT genotype of rs2929973, and with the AA genotype (AOR: 0.34; 95% CI: 0.22-0.54) or GG genotype (AOR: 0.52; 95% CI: 0.31 to 0.87) vs the AG genotype of rs2977530.
