Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Crohn's disease (CD) is a chronic, idiopathic inflammatory bowel disease. Understanding the genetic and immunological basis of CD can lead to better therapeutic strategies. METHODS: We employed publicly available datasets from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database to identify instrumental variables through expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analysis and conducted two-sample Mendelian...
