For the FAS −670 A/G polymorphism, the results from Egger’s tests indicated evidence for publication bias in the homozygous model for pSS, heterozygous models for Caucasians, AIH and high-quality studies, and recessive models for high-quality studies (P=0.044, 0.008, 0.005, 0.022, and 0.019, respectively). The gene discussed is FAS; the disease is autoimmune hepatitis.
