Cohort have confirmed that is risk factor 0.0001), aggregate analyses case-control cross-sectional shown Asia (OR 1.599, 0.034), not Europe 1.277, 0.246). Moreover, appears be related choledocholithiasis/cholecystolithiasis 3.321, 0.033). The authors conclude positively correlated with particularly choledocholithiasis phenotype, especially Asia, it potentially bilirubin metabolism.
