Abstract excerpt
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a global health burden affecting over 200 million individuals and is frequently complicated by limb-threatening ischemia, leading to major amputations. Despite known clinical risk factors, the genetic basis underlying amputation risk in PAD remains poorly defined. In this study, we performed a multi-pronged genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic variants...
