Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified thousands of susceptibility loci, only a few of them were conducted for chronic upper GI disorders, and most of them were underpowered and with small sample sizes. Additionally, for the known loci, only a tiny fraction of heritability can be explained and...
