Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genetic studies of stool frequency (SF), an indirect proxy for gastrointestinal transit, may reveal therapeutically tractable pathways relevant to IBS and other dysmotility disorders. OBJECTIVE: To identify genes and mechanisms involved in gut motility, providing a foundation for clinical translation. DESIGN: We performed a multiancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of SF in...
