Article Synopsis
- The study aims to investigate the genetic factors associated with accessory atrioventricular pathways (APs) and related heart rhythm disorders using a genome-wide association study (GWAS).
- It involved analyzing genetic data from over 1,200,000 control individuals and 2,310 individuals with APs from multiple countries and various health databases.
- Key findings revealed three significant genetic variants linked to APs, particularly in specific genes (CCDC141 and SCN10A), with implications for understanding conditions like paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).
We report a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study on liver cirrhosis and its associated endophenotypes, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyl transferase. Using data from 12 cohorts, including 18,265 cases with cirrhosis, 1,782,047 controls, up to 1 million individuals with liver function tests and a validation cohort of 21,689 cases and 617,729 controls, we identify and validate 14 risk associations for cirrhosis. Many variants are located near genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism.
