Two SNPs in <i>ADD3</i> were replicated as associated with BA (1.60E-04 ≤ <i>P</i>≤1.70E-04, 1.33 ≤ odds ratio (OR) ≤ 1.58 for rs17095355, 2.10E-04 ≤ <i>P</i>≤5.30E-04, 1.26 ≤ OR ≤ 1.57 for rs2501577).
This study suggests that the ADD3 gene plays an important role in BA pathogenesis and reveals a significant association between two SNPs, rs17095355 and rs10509906, and BA.
