  ABSTRACT: Abstract Inguinal hernias are some of the most frequently diagnosed conditions in clinical practice and inguinal hernia repair is the most common procedure performed by general surgeons. Studies of inguinal hernias in non-European populations are lacking, though it is expected that such studies could identify novel loci. Further, the cumulative lifetime incidence of inguinal hernia is nine times greater in men than women, however, it is not clear why this difference exists. We conducted a genome-wide association meta-analysis of inguinal hernia risk across 513 120 individuals (35 774 cases and 477 346 controls) of Hispanic/Latino, African, Asian and European descent, with replication in 728 418 participants (33 491 cases and 694 927 controls) from the 23andMe, Inc dat
