  1. CI, confidence interval; OR, odds ratio; Compared with individuals with COX-2 -765 GG genotype, individual with GC or GC/CC genotypes both had a significantly increased susceptibility to breast cancer. *Two-sided χ2 test for the distributions of genotype and allele frequencies.
  2. Adjusted for age and age at menarche.
