Interleukin-18 as a drug repositioning opportunity for inflammatory bowel disease: A Mendelian randomization study
28 Jun 2019
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Support from human genetics increases the probability of success in drug development. However, few examples exist of successful genomically-driven drug repositioning. Given that a Mendelian form of severe enterocolitis is due to up-regulation of the interleukin-18 (IL18) signaling pathway, and pharmacologic inhibition of IL18 has been shown to reverse this enterocolitis, we undertook a Mendelian...
