Genetic factors associated with serum amylase in a Japanese population: combined analysis of copy-number and single-nucleotide variants
4 Jan 2023
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Amylase activity and levels in humans are heritable quantitative traits. Although many studies exist on the effects of copy-number variants (CNVs) in amylase genes (AMY) on human phenotypes, such as body mass index (BMI), the genetic factors controlling interindividual variation in amylase levels remain poorly understood. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of serum amylase levels...
