Neanderthals are extinct hominins that interbred with ancestors of modern humans, and genetic variants of Neanderthal origin still persist in present‐day humans and play a role in human disease. This study shows that one variant of Neanderthal origin is associated with the genetic risk of developing a rare liver disease called primary biliary cholangitis.

Abstract
Neanderthals are extinct hominins that interbred with ancestors of modern humans, and genetic variants of Neanderthal origin still persist in present‐day humans and play a role in human disease. This study shows that one variant of Neanderthal origin is associated with the genetic risk of developing a rare liver disease called primary biliary cholangitis.File in questo prodotto:
