However, after Bonferroni adjustment, significant associations were only observed between minor allele T of STAT4 rs7574865 and Chinese SLE patients (P = 0.028, OR = 1.42, 95% CI: 1.12–1.82) and between minor allele T of STAT4 rs10168266 and Malay SLE patients (P = 0.035, OR = 1.80, 95% CI: 1.20–2.71). The gene discussed is STAT4; the disease is systemic lupus erythematosus.
