Background There are substantial differences in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) genetics
depending on the populations examined. We aimed to identify Japanese population-specific …

More than 240 genetic risk loci have been associated with inflammatory bowel disease
(IBD), but little is known about how they contribute to disease development in involved …

Background Crohn's disease (CD) has the highest prevalence among individuals of
Ashkenazi Jewish (AJ) descent compared to non-Jewish Caucasian populations (NJ). We …

Seven loci that potentially confer susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) or one of
its subtypes have been identified to date; however, most are unconfirmed, and the complete …

Background Both ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD) have a complex etiology
involving multiple genetic and environmental factors. Many genome-wide association …

Background Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) result from an interaction between genetic
and environmental factors. Preliminary findings suggest that susceptibility genes differ …

OBJECTIVES: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci reproducibly
associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and other immune-mediated diseases; …

Genome-wide association studies and candidate gene studies in ulcerative colitis have
identified 18 susceptibility loci. We conducted a meta-analysis of six ulcerative colitis …

Objective Crohn9s disease (CD) is an intractable inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) of
unknown cause. Recent meta-analysis of the genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and …

Abstract Background and Aims Recent meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies
have identified over 241 inflammatory bowel disease susceptibility loci. However, the known …
