Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: One-fifth of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) are primary non-responders to anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapy, and an estimated 10-15% will fail therapy annually. Little is known about the genetics of response to anti-TNF therapy. The aim of our study was to identify genetic factors associated with primary non-response (PNR) and loss of response to anti-TNFs in CD. METHODS: From a...
