Intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP) is a pregnancy-specific liver disorder characterized by elevated total bile acid (TBA) levels, leading to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. While genetic factors contribute to ICP and bile acid metabolism, the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood, particularly in East Asian populations. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 13,357...
