...Most importantly, a recent genome-wide association study from Icelandic and Swedish patients with XFS and XFG found two common non-synonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in exon 1 of the lysyl oxidase-like protein 1 gene (LOXL1; OMIM 153456) conferring increased risk for the development of XFS and XFG (rs1048661 and rs3825942) [10]....
