This study evaluates polygenic risk scores for hernia susceptibility and finds they are associated with incisional hernia but do not improve clinical risk prediction beyond traditional factors.

This study identifies 243 genome-wide significant loci for hernia subtypes, reveals shared and distinct genetic factors, and identifies potential therapeutic targets.

This study identifies somatic MCOLN3 mutations in aldosterone-producing adenomas that disrupt calcium regulation and lead to increased aldosterone production in primary aldosteronism.
