  1. The Caucasoid sample population refers to the combination of the following population samples: Greek, Spanish, Russian, and American (Whites). The non-Caucasoid sample population refers to the combination of the following population samples: North American (Amerinds), North American (Blacks), Bushmen, Korean, Chinese, and Javanese. The combined odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) evaluate the significance of the global effect of the different HLA-DRB1 allele groups on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) susceptibility in Caucasoids and non-Caucasoids.
