Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Background & aims: Genetic factors are believed to affect risk for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but there have been no sufficiently powered and adequately sized studies. To identify DNA variants associated with IBS risk, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of the large UK Biobank population-based cohort, which includes genotype and health data from 500,000 participants.
7,130 British ancestry women cases, 2,446 British ancestry men cases, 178,076 British ancestry women controls, 158,423 British ancestry men controls
