Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified genome-wide significant risk loci in chronic pancreatitis and investigated underlying disease causing mechanisms by simple overlaps with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), a procedure which may often result in false positive conclusions. METHODS: We conducted a GWAS in 584 non-alcoholic chronic pancreatitis (NACP) patients and 6040...
