Abstract excerpt
Chromosome 5q31 contains a cluster of genes involved in immune response, including a 250 kb risk haplotype associated with Crohn's disease (CD) susceptibility. Recently, two functional variants in SLC22A4 and SLC22A5 (L503F and G-207C), encoding the cation transporters OCTN1 and OCTN2, were proposed as causal variants for CD, but with conflicting genetic evidence regarding their contribution. We investigated this...
