Susceptibility loci and polygenic architecture highlight population specific and common genetic features in inguinal hernias

Background: The underlying pathology of inguinal hernia is still not fully known; thus, further investigations of genetic backgrounds is needed. Here, we aimed to identify genetic factors attributing to inguinal hernias and explore the polygenic architecture of which some components are population-s...
