Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Varicose veins (VV) are one of the common human diseases, but the role of genetics in its development is not fully understood. METHODS: We conducted an exome-wide association study of VV using whole-exome sequencing data from the UK Biobank, and focused on common and rare variants using single-variant association analysis and gene-level collapsing analysis. FINDINGS: A total of 13,823,269 autosomal...
