Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Th17/IL23 pathway has both genetically and biologically been implicated in the pathogenesis of the inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease, and ulcerative colitis. So far, it is unknown whether and how associated risk variants affect expression of the genes encoding for Th17/IL23 pathway proteins. METHODS: Ten IBD-associated SNPs residing near Th17/IL23 genes were used to construct a...
