Genome-wide meta-analysis identifiesBARX1andEML4-MTA3as new loci associated with infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
1 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (IHPS) is a disorder of young infants with a population incidence of ∼2/1000 live births, caused by hypertrophy of the pyloric sphincter smooth muscle. Reported genetic loci associated with IHPS explain only a minor proportion of IHPS risk. To identify new risk loci, we carried out a genome-wide meta-analysis on 1395 surgery-confirmed cases and 4438 controls, with...
