Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Background & aims: Biliary atresia (BA) is poorly understood and leads to liver transplantation (LT), with the requirement for and associated risks of lifelong immunosuppression, in most children. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to determine the genetic basis of BA.
811 European ancestry cases, 4,654 European ancestry controls
