150 risk variants for diverticular disease of intestine prioritize cell types and enable polygenic prediction of disease susceptibility
5 Jun 2023
Abstract excerpt
We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of diverticular disease (DivD) of intestine within 724,372 individuals and identified 150 independent genome-wide significant DNA variants. Integration of the GWAS results with human gut single-cell RNA sequencing data implicated gut myocyte, mesothelial and stromal cells, and enteric neurons and glia in DivD development. Ninety-five genes were...
