Integrative analysis of Dupuytren’s disease identifies novel risk locus and reveals a shared genetic etiology with BMI
2018-12-18
Abstract excerpt
Dupuytren’s disease is the common inherited tissue-specific fibrotic disorder. It’s characterized by progressive and irreversible fibroblastic proliferation affecting the palmar fascia of the hand, with an onset typically in the sixth decade of life. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 24 genomic regions associated with Dupuytren’s risk, the biological mechanisms driving signal at these...
