Abstract excerpt
Genetic variants within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) on chromosome 6 have been shown to confer risk for primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) ~30 years ago. However, robust genetic associations outside this genetic region have been difficult to establish. By genome-wide association analysis, a surprising large overlap of genetic risk loci outside of the MHC with prototypical autoimmune diseases has...
