Abstract excerpt
Associations with different autoimmune diseases of polymorphisms in genes encoding the IL2RA and IL2RB subunits (located in 10p15 and 22q13, respectively), were identified through genome-wide studies. Polymorphisms in these two genes were studied in 107 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients (39 Crohn's disease [CD] and 68 ulcerative colitis [UC]) and in 162 ethnically healthy controls from Tunisia (Sfax). Two...
