Abstract excerpt
High concordance rate in monozygotic twins and familial clustering of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) indicate the involvement of strong genetic factors in the development of PBC. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and subsequent meta-analyses in European descent have identified HLA and 21 non-HLA susceptibility loci which are involved in IL12/IL12R signaling, TNF/TLR-NFKB signaling and...
