Only the males from the Trio cohort show significant genetic association for SNP number 2 after multiple testing adjustments with a pcorr of 0.018. There is no gender bias in the adult case control cohort. Significant association for GORD in the case–control cohort was identified for SNP number 5 with a pcorr of 0.022. COL3A1 is also associated with hiatus hernia in the adult case–control cohort. The associated SNP, number 8, has a pcorr of 0.019. The identified association is male specific. The patient overlap is 98 individuals, eg, having both GORD and hiatus hernia.
