Abstract

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 200 inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) loci, but the genetic architecture of Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) remains incompletely defined. Here we aimed to identify novel associations between IBD and functional genetic variants using the Illumina ExomeChip.
