All previously reported associations with AAA were confirmed at genome-wide significance (Table 1; Online Table VII; Online Figure II) with the exception of 12q13.3 (LRP1), where the lead SNP identified in this meta-analysis and tested in our validation study only demonstrated a borderline association with AAA in the combined analysis (P=6.4×10−7). The gene discussed is LRP1; the disease is triple-A syndrome.
