Abstract excerpt
The lipid accumulation product index (LAP) is a robust marker of lipid burden. However, its genetic architecture and causal relevance to pancreatitis remain poorly characterized. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of LAP in 388,213 European from UK Biobank, followed by colocalization, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), LD score regression and Mendelian randomization for causal...
