A transcriptome-wide association study identifies PALMD as a susceptibility gene for calcific aortic valve stenosis
Progressive remodeling and calcification of the aortic valve leads to calcific aortic valve stenosis (CAVS) and, ultimately, heart failure. In a combined GWAS and TWAS approach, Thériault et al. identify PALMD as a candidate causal gene for CAVS, which is further supported by Mendelian randomization...
