Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Acute pancreatitis (AP) and Crohn's disease (CD) exhibit overlapping clinical presentations and an unexpectedly high rate of comorbidity. Whether this reflects shared genetic susceptibilities remains unclear. METHODS: We performed a cross-trait genome-wide association analysis leveraging European-ancestry summary statistics for AP (Ncases = 8446; Ncontrols = 437,418) and CD (Ncases = 12,194;...
