Truly meta-lingual poetry!
Testing for associations with SSc-specific autoantibodies and clinical manifestations (ILD, PH) within cases alone showed an association of SNP rs10865710 with PH in the French cohort (P = 0.002, OR = 2.33 per C allele, 95% CI 1.34, 4.03), and in the US-French meta-analysis (P = 0.001, OR = 2.38 per C allele, 95% CI 1.40, 4.03) (Additional file 3).
Notably, in the French population, meta-analysis of rs767870, including 1,380 individuals with type 2 diabetes and 1,496 controls, demonstrated allelic association of nominal significance only (p=0.02), while the most significant result was under a recessive model (p=0.0018).
However, the French cohort and the meta-analysis did have enough patients with right heart catheterization proven PH to demonstrate an association.
Subsequently, we combined our results with those of a French case control study in a meta-analysis amounting to a total of 330 NHL cases/1478 controls and 239 HL cases/959 controls.
Because of small number of additional AS cases, only data from four countries (France, Greece, Italy and Portugal) actually contributed to the meta-analysis and French data contributed the most.
Furthermore, the TRACTISS trial is intended to be closely aligned to the design of the French study to permit a meta-analysis.
"Clouds of Sils Maria," the latest film from French filmmaker Olivier Assayas, is one of the most meta, layered films on this year's festival circuit.
Of course, transposed into costume drama, with added sex scenes and post-French Lieutenant's Woman meta-narrative and authorial doubt, even the dowdiest old book can seem modern and amusing.
When they transferred their act to the small screen, now calling themselves French And Saunders, the show's mix of meta-satire, spoof and running gags was hugely popular throughout the late 80s and early 90s.
And there is the inevitable but cleverly done meta-video by Roman Coppola, for the French disco outfit Phoenix, that includes e-mail messages between him and the band discussing the concept for the video.
