  • Values for patients and controls are number (%) of individuals with the given genotype.

  • pcorr, probability from the χ2 test, corrected for multiple testing, comparing phenotypic frequencies.

  • 4-151 Norwegian patients: 110 patients and 110 controls were tested for TNF2 and DRB14-1500301, 59 patients and 53 controls for IL-10, 42 patients and 110 controls for B8.

  • 4-152 British patients: 50 patients and 35 controls were tested for TNF2 , DRB14-1500301 and B8, 31 patients and 31 controls for IL-10.

  • 4-150 Method for estimating combined OR and χ2 according to Wolf, modified by Haldane, as given in Tiwaris and Terasaki.25

  • IL-10, interleukin 10; PSC, primary sclerosing cholangitis.
