Abstract excerpt
IMPORTANCE: Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a serious condition in which hypertrophy of the pyloric sphincter muscle layer leads to gastric outlet obstruction. Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis shows strong familial aggregation and heritability, but knowledge about specific genetic risk variants is limited. OBJECTIVES: To search the genome comprehensively for genetic associations with IHPS...
