Hepatitis is a common and serious disease for the Korean population. It is caused by a virus, the A and B types of which are plentiful in Koreans. In this study, we tried to find genetic factors for hepatitis through genome-wide association studies. We took 368 cases and 1,500 controls from Anseong and Ansan cohort data. About 300,000 single-nucleotide polymorphisms and 20 epidemiological variables were analyzed. We did not find any meaningful significant single nucleotide polymorphisms, but we confirmed the influence of major epidemiological variables on hepatitis.
肝炎是韩国人群中一种常见且严重的疾病。它由病毒引起,其中甲型和乙型肝炎病毒在韩国人群中十分常见。在本研究中,我们试图通过全基因组关联研究来寻找肝炎的遗传因素。我们从安城和安山队列数据中选取了368例病例和1500例对照。分析了约30万个单核苷酸多态性和20个流行病学变量。我们没有发现任何有意义的显著单核苷酸多态性,但我们证实了主要流行病学变量对肝炎的影响。
