Genome‐wide analysis identifies gallstone‐susceptibility loci including genes regulating gastrointestinal motility

Genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several risk loci for gallstone disease. As with most polygenic traits, it is likely that many genetic determinants are undiscovered. The aim of this study was to identify genetic variants that represent new targets for gallstone research and treatment.
