The meta-analysis of the 3 SSc populations confirmed the absence of association between MUC5B rs35705950 T allele and SSc whatever the presence of an ILD, OR 0.97 (95% CI, 0.84 to 1.12), P = 0.64, for the association with SSc, and OR 1.09 (95% CI, 0.9 to 1.32), P = 0.38, for the association with SSc-ILD (Figure 3). Here, MUC5B is linked to systemic sclerosis.
