Abstract excerpt
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic autoimmune liver disease that appears to be strongly influenced by genetic factors. Recently, an international meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified CC-Motif Chemokine Receptor-6 (CCR6) and FGFR1 Oncogene-Partner (FGFR1OP) as PBC-susceptibility genes. However, the lead single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CCR6/FGFR1OP...
