Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Biliary atresia (BA) is poorly understood and leads to liver transplantation (LT), with the requirement for and associated risks of lifelong immunosuppression, in most children. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to determine the genetic basis of BA. METHODS: We performed a GWAS in 811 European BA cases treated with LT in US, Canadian and UK centers, and 4,654 genetically...
