Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Inflammation of the tonsils is a normal response to infection, but some individuals experience recurrent, severe tonsillitis and massive hypertrophy of the tonsils in which case surgical removal of the tonsils may be considered. OBJECTIVE: To identify common genetic variants associated with tonsillectomy. METHODS: We used tonsillectomy information from Danish health registers and carried out a...
