Deskripsi

Better understanding of the genetic basis of acne can pave the way to more effective treatments. Here, the authors perform a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of >20,000 cases and identify 29 new acne susceptibility loci, uncovering genetic links to Mendelian hair and skin disorders and other complex traits.
