Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) are detected in up to 14% of the population, and many individuals with ANA are asymptomatic. The literature on the genetic contribution to asymptomatic ANA positivity is limited. In this study, we aimed to perform a genome-wide association study of asymptomatic ANA positivity in multiple populations. METHODS: Asymptomatic individuals who were either ANA positive or ANA...
