East Asian-specific and cross-ancestry genome-wide meta-analyses provide mechanistic insights into peptic ulcer disease
2022-10-26
Abstract excerpt
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) refers to acid-induced injury of the digestive tract, occurring mainly in the stomach (gastric ulcer; GU) or duodenum (duodenal ulcer; DU). We conducted a large-scale cross-ancestry meta-analysis of PUD combining genome-wide association studies with four Japanese and two European studies (52,032 cases and 905,344 controls), and discovered 25 novel loci highly concordant across ancestries...
