  • †Adjusted for frequency matching variables (age group, sex) and age and education, within solvent exposure groups.

  • ‡One or two copies of the I105V Ile->Val SNP (rs1695) but no copy of the A114V Ala->Val SNP (rs1138272).

  • §Neither I105V nor A114V variant or with only A114V Ala->Val SNP.
