Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified at least 71 Crohn's disease (CD) genetic risk loci, but the role of gene-gene interactions is unclear.

METHODS: We examined model predictability of combining the 71 CD risk alleles and genetic interactions in an ongoing inflammatory bowel disease...
