Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: A meta-analysis has re-analysed previous genome-wide association scanning definitively confirming eleven genes and further identifying 21 new loci. However, the identified genes/loci still explain only the minority of genetic predisposition of Crohn's disease. AIMS: To identify genes weakly involved in disease predisposition by analysing chromosomal regions enriched of single nucleotide polymorphisms...
