Background And Aims: Understanding of the significant genetic risk factors for Cholangiocarcinoma (CC) remains limited. Polymorphisms in the natural killer cell receptor G2D (NKG2D) gene have been shown to increase...

Int J Epidemiol . 2016 Jun; 45(5):1600-1616. PMID: 27342221
Mendelian randomization (MR) studies typically assess the pathogenic relevance of environmental exposures or disease biomarkers, using genetic variants that instrument these exposures. The approach is gaining popularity-our systematic review reveals...
