BACKGROUND: Functional studies support the involvement of the MDR1 gene in the pathways leading to Crohn's disease (CD). Two common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), C3435T and G2677T/A, thought to alter the function of the corresponding P-glycoprotein, have shown inconsistent associations with CD. We investigated whether DNA variants in the MDR1 gene were associated with susceptibility for CD and specific...
