Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the association between the identified SNPs and the susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The genotype distributions in both groups were in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. Multivariate logistic regression analysis after adjustment for confounders showed that the T allele at the rs1468063 locus was associated with a significantly increased risk of NIHL compared to the C allele (OR\u202f=\u202f1.79, 95% CI\u202f=\u202f1.32\u20132.44,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f&amp;lt;\u202f0.001). In the codominant model, individuals with the CT (OR=2.14) and TT (OR\u202f=\u202f3.86) genotypes had a higher risk compared to those with the CC genotype. Consistent with this, the recessive model (TT vs. CC\u202f+\u202fCT) also indicated that the TT genotype conferred a higher risk (OR\u202f=\u202f2.27); for rs1800682 locus, the increased risks of NIHL were associated with G allele compared with A allele, the risk of NIHL was 2.81-fold higher in individuals with the GG genotype compared with those with the AA genotype.\n
