Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Kidney stone disease has a strong but incompletely understood genetic component. Traditional genome-wide association studies (GWAS) mostly uncover non-coding variants whose target genes remain ambiguous. Integrating transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) with post-GWAS analyses can pinpoint the genes through which these variants act. METHOD: Using GWAS summary statistics from 12,999 cases and...
