Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies of inflammatory bowel disease have identified hundreds of common genetic variants that are associated with inflammatory bowel disease, but few promising therapeutic targets. The "omnigenic" sparse effector hypothesis postulates that the polygenic effects of common SNPs on a typical complex trait are mediated by trans-effects that coalesce on the expression of a sparse...
