Susceptibility to cholesterol gallstone formation: evidence that LITH genes also encode immune-related factors.

Biochimica et biophysica acta - 1 Oct 2006

Lyons Malcolm A, Wittenburg Henning

Abstract excerpt

Cholesterol gallstones are solid calculi that form in the gallbladder from bile constituents and chiefly comprise cholesterol. Cholesterol gallstones are prevalent and costly for healthcare systems. In addition to various environmental factors, genetic risk contributes substantially to gallstone susceptibility. Candidate gene approaches to identify contributory genes are based on prior knowledge of gene-protein...
