Exclusion of the occupational study (Lee BK et al. 2001), which has a low frequency of ALAD2 allele and modestly higher levels of lead exposure, resulted in a nonsignificant test for heterogeneity (χ1 = 0.47, p = 0.49), a significant pooled WMD that was 1.88 mmHg higher in individuals carrying the ALAD2 allele (95% CI, 0.46 to 3.31; p = 0.01) (Table 4).
