The interferon-gamma gene as a positional and functional candidate gene for inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract excerpt

Epidemiological and genome-wide linkage analyses have provided firm evidence for a genetic component in the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease. The linkage regions on chromosomes 12 and 16 have been replicated in several independent samples. These represent the best positional evidence in the search for inflammatory bowel disease susceptibility genes. While systematic association and physical mapping...
