BACKGROUND: Many studies suggest the implication of genetic factors in inflammatory bowel diseases. Despite some associations with HLA genes, the lack of definite data may be due to ethnic variations, clinical heterogeneity, or the involvement of additional susceptibility genes beside or within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC), such as TAP genes. The aim of this study was to analyze in patients with...
