Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The present study sought to determine whether protein-truncating variants (PTVs) in PIEZO1 and CASZ1 genes, previously shown to be associated with varicose veins, were associated with an altered risk of varicose veins. METHODS: An exome sequence database of 131,918 participants from the Geisinger MyCode Community Health Initiative was used to identify individuals with genetic variants in the PIEZO1 or...
