Genome-wide association studies to identify shared and distinct mechanisms of fibrosis across 12 organ-systems

2026-02-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Introduction</h4> Fibrosis can affect organs throughout the body and is present in a wide range of diseases. Recent research has suggested that there could be shared biological mechanisms that lead to fibrosis in different organs. <h4>Methods</h4> We performed genome-wide association studies using UK Biobank for fibrosis in 12 different organ-systems and meta-analysed results with previously published studie...
