A genome-wide meta-analysis identifies 50 genetic loci associated with carpal tunnel syndrome

The underlying genetics of carpal tunnel syndrome is not well understood. Here, the authors perform a GWAS meta-analysis for carpal tunnel syndrome finding variants at 50 loci with connections to the extracellular matrix discovered through various functional analyses.
