Genome-wide meta-analysis conducted in three large biobanks expands the genetic landscape of lumbar disc herniations

Abstract Given that lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a prevalent spinal condition that causes significant individual suffering and societal costs, the genetic basis of LDH has received relatively little research. Our aim is to increase understanding of the genetic factors influencing LDH. We perform...
