STAT4: signal transducer activator transcription 4; PBC: primary biliary cirrhosis; SNP: single nucleotide polymorphism; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval; AMA: anti-mitochondrial antibody; ANA: anti-nuclear antibody; Cenp: anti-centromere antibody; gp210: gp210 antibody; : values for indicate two times the number of individuals since each person carries two haplotypes.
