Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The underlying pathology of inguinal hernia is still not fully known; thus, further investigations of genetic backgrounds is needed. Here, we aimed to identify genetic factors attributing to inguinal hernias and explore the polygenic architecture of which some components are population-specific, while others are more common among populations. METHODS: We performed a genome-wide association study...
