Crohn’s disease IRGM risk alleles are associated with altered gene expression in human tissues
18 Oct 2018
Abstract excerpt
Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic inflammatory gastrointestinal disorder. Genetic association studies have implicated dysregulated autophagy in CD. Among risk loci identified are a promoter single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)( rs13361189 ) and two intragenic SNPs ( rs9637876 , rs10065172 ) in immunity-related GTPase family M ( IRGM) a gene that encodes a protein of the autophagy initiation complex. All three...
