Pathway Association Studies Reveal Gene Loci and Pathway Networks that Associated With Plasma Cystatin C Levels

As a marker for glomerular filtration, plasma cystatin C level is used to evaluate kidney function. To decipher genetic factors that control the plasma cystatin C level, we performed genome-wide association and pathway association studies using United Kingdom Biobank data. One hundred fifteen loci y...
