When we examined the combined effect of R279Q and P574R and used the 279R and 574P as the risk alleles, a significantly increased risk of lung cancer was associated with both the genotypes containing "1 to 2 risk alleles" (adjusted OR, 2.16; 95% CI, 1.30-3.59) and containing ">2 risk alleles" (adjusted OR, 2.44; 95% CI, 1.48-4.03), and it was more pronounced in 290 lung cancer cases with metastasis [adjusted OR, 2.30 (95% CI, 1.09-4.85) for the 1 to 2 risk alleles subgroup and adjusted OR, 2.82 (95% CI, 1.35-5.88) for the >2 risk alleles subgroup], compared with those without any risk alleles.
