Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether common variants in inflammatory and immune response genes influence inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) risk among Moroccan patients. Using a candidate gene approach, 10 single-nucleotide polymorphisms mapping on six genes (MIF_rs755622, TNFA_rs1800629, IL6_rs2069840, IL6R_rs2228145, IL6ST_rs2228044, IL17A (rs2275913, rs4711998, rs7747909, rs8193036, rs3819024))...
