GWAS Cholangiocarcinoma Study
The Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) for Cholangiocarcinoma
Professor Simon Taylor-Robinson and Dr. Shahid Khan at Imperial College London are collaborating on the GWAS project with the Mayo clinic in the USA1, as one of their ongoing studies in cholangiocarcinoma.

1 The Mayo Clinic in the USA is running an international study comparing the DNA from samples of those diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, to those who do not have the disease, to try to identify genetic risk factors for this disease.
2 Anyone can participate – those diagnosed with cholangiocarcinoma, family members, friends.
