Loci Associated With Susceptibility to Biliary Atresia-A Genome-Wide Association Study in Taiwan.
BACKGROUND Biliary atresia (BA) is the leading cause of pediatric liver transplantation worldwide. However, the genetic background remains unclear in most patients. In this genome-wide association study (GWAS), we aimed to identify genetic loci that contribute to susceptibility to BA. METHODS We recruited 189 BA pati...
