Abstract excerpt
Keloid disorder is a tumour-like disease with invasive growth and a high recurrence rate. Genetic contribution is well expected due to the presence of autosomal dominant inheritance and various genetic mutations in keloid lesions. However, GWAS failed to reveal functional variants in exon regions but single nucleotide polymorphisms in the non-coding regions, suggesting the necessity of innovative genetic...
