Fig 1 Case-only assessment of gene-environment interaction in patients with EoE. The illustration shows association between exposure and genotype in cases only to assess for gene-environment interaction adjusted for maternal education. *Suggestive associations examined in case-control data assessment of interaction. **Data are too sparse for estimation of association.

Fig 2 Case-control analysis interaction plots for early-life factors and susceptibility genotype. Plots denote interaction between selected exposures and genotype variants in the case-control analyses. Interaction models include adjustment for maternal education. G+, Exposed to susceptibility genotype variant; G-, unexposed to susceptibility genotype variant. A, Difference in risk for those breast-fed and not breast-fed among those with the susceptibility genotype variant. B, Increase in risk for NICU admission and those without the susceptibility variant.
