Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Recent European ancestry genome-wide association studies have identified genetic variants of IRGM as significant susceptibility loci for Crohn's disease (CD). Therefore, we investigated whether genetic variants of IRGM confer genetic susceptibility to CD or ulcerative colitis (UC) and evaluated the genotype-phenotype associations in the Korean population. METHODS: This study included 510 inflammatory...
