Genetic investigation of fibromuscular dysplasia identifies risk loci and shared genetics with common cardiovascular diseases
15 Oct 2021
Abstract excerpt
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is an arteriopathy associated with hypertension, stroke and myocardial infarction, affecting mostly women. We report results from the first genome-wide association meta-analysis of six studies including 1556 FMD cases and 7100 controls. We find an estimate of SNP-based heritability compatible with FMD having a polygenic basis, and report four robustly associated loci (PHACTR1, LRP1,...
