Abstract excerpt
Orofacial diseases are closely linked to systemic health, yet their genetic architecture and causal relationships remain incompletely understood. Here we show that integrative genomic analyses of 21 orofacial diseases in the UK Biobank, combining genome-wide, transcriptome-wide, rare variant association studies and Mendelian randomization, identify 48 novel loci and prioritize 160 putative causal genes. Among...
