Summary

Higher plasma ghrelin levels may reduce gastrointestinal cancer risk. This study used genetic data to investigate the causal link between ghrelin and cancer, finding a potential protective association.

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...
