Research Abstract |
To clarify the genetic factors for Crohn's disease (CD) in Japanese, we performed a genome-wide association study (372 individuals with CD (cases) and 3389 controls) and a replication study with an independent panel of 1151 CD cases and 15,800 controls. We confirmed the association in the MHC, TNFSF15 and STAT3 regions which have been reported. In addition, we identified two novel susceptibility loci on chromosome 4p14 and in the SLC25A15-ELF1-WBP4 region on 13q14.
