Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: To date, only one gene (TNFSF15) has been identified and validated as a Crohn's disease (CD)-associated gene in non-Caucasian populations. This study was designed to identify novel CD-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)/genes and to validate candidate genes using a functional assay. METHODS: SNPs from 16 CD patients and 16 age- and sex-matched control patients were analyzed using...
