Probabilities stated are corrected for multiple comparisons. Haplotypes found in less than 3% of controls are excluded from the table. aPolymyositis and dermatomyositis patients combined. bPM versus controls, p = 1.1 × 10-4, odds ratio (OR) 2.6 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.6–4.0); AS versus controls, p = 7 × 10-10, OR 4.8 (CI 2.8–8.3); PM-Scl versus controls, p = 0.001, OR 6.1 (CI 2.2–16.5). cPM versus DM, p = 0.004, OR 0.3 (CI 0.1–0.6); Mi-2 versus controls, p = 0.002, OR 4.9 (CI 2.0–11.6). AS, anti-tRNA synthetase positive; DM, dermatomyositis; PM, polymyositis.
