Genome-wide association study in Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Abstract excerpt

Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is considered to have an immune-mediated basis, but the genetic contribution to GBS is unclear. We conducted a GWAS involving 215 GBS patients and 1,105 healthy controls. No significant associations of individual SNPs or imputed HLA types were observed. We performed a genome-wide complex trait analysis for evaluation of the heritability of GBS, and found that common SNPs contribute...
