Abstract excerpt
ObjectiveTo identify susceptibility genes associated with varicose veins (VVs) using a cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) framework.MethodsWe performed a cross-tissue TWAS by integrating GWAS data from the FinnGen R12 dataset (38,467 VVs cases and 432,223 controls of European ancestry) with eQTL data from GTEx V8. The initial analysis was conducted using the Unified Test for Molecular...
