Abstract excerpt
The contribution of genetics to the development of gut-related autoimmune diseases such as celiac disease (CeD) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) is well-established, especially in immune cells, but pinpointing the significance of genetic variants to other cell types is more elusive. Increasing evidence indicates that intestinal epithelial cells are active players in modulating the immune response,...
