Genetic association analyses highlight <i>IL6</i> , <i>ALPL</i> , and <i>NAV1</i> as three new susceptibility genes underlying calcific aortic valve stenosis
2019-01-11
Abstract excerpt
To date, only two replicated loci, LPA and PALMD , have been identified as causal genes for calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) using genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS). To identify additional susceptibility genes for CAVS, we performed a GWAS meta-analysis totaling 5,115 cases and 354,072 controls of European descent. Four loci achieved genome-wide significance, including two new loci...
