Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: A limited number of genetic risk factors have been reported in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC). To discover further genetic susceptibility factors for PSC, we followed up on a second tier of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) from a genome-wide association study (GWAS). METHODS: We analyzed 45 SNPs in 1221 PSC cases and 3508 controls. The association results from the replication...
