A genome-wide cross-trait analysis characterizes the shared genetic architecture between lung and gastrointestinal diseases

Abstract excerpt

Lung and gastrointestinal diseases often occur together, leading to more adverse health outcomes than when a disease of one of these systems occurs alone. However, the potential genetic mechanisms underlying lung-gastrointestinal comorbidities remain unclear. Here, we leverage lung and gastrointestinal trait data from individuals of European, East Asian and African ancestries, to perform a large-scale genetic...
