Results To identify loci conferring susceptibility to NTM-PD in the Chinese population, we performed genome-wide analysis of 430 NTM cases and 475 healthy controls (discovery stage, Table S1). Here, 51 variants at chromosome 16p21 reached genome-wide significance (p < 5 × 10−8, Figures 1A and 1B). We next took forward the most significant independent variants (p < 1 × 10−5, Table S2) for replication in a sample of 202 NTM cases and 319 healthy controls (Tables S1 and S2).
