Definition of abbreviations: 1000G = 1000 Genomes Project; PNTM = pulmonary nontuberculous mycobacterial infection.
*
PNTM affected versus PNTM unaffected, not significant (P > 0.05); PNTM unaffected versus 1000G control, P = 7.9 × 10−5; PNTM affected versus 1000G control, P = 3.0 × 10−8.
†
PNTM affected versus PNTM unaffected, not significant (P > 0.05); PNTM unaffected versus 1000G control, P = 0.0008; PNTM affected versus 1000G control, P = 2.7 × 10−8.
