Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of Crohn's disease (CD) in European and leprosy in Chinese population have shown that CD and leprosy share genetic risk loci. As these shared loci were identified through cross-comparisons across different ethnic populations, we hypothesized that meta-analysis of GWAS on CD and leprosy in East Asian populations would increase power to identify additional shared loci. We...
