Comprehensive genome-wide association study of different forms of hernia identifies more than 80 associated loci

Hernias involve protrusion of an organ or tissue through its surrounding cavity. Here the authors carry out GWAS for five types of hernia and find 81 variants, most of which are associated with inguinal hernia; downstream analysis suggests an important role for connective tissue morphology.
