Background: Corticosteroids (CS) effectively induce remission in patients with moderate to severe Crohn's disease (CD). However, CS dependence in children is a significant clinical problem associated with numerous side effects. Identification of molecular markers of CS dependence is of paramount imp

## Background: The pregnane-X-receptor (PXR) is involved in the metabolism and detoxification of numerous xenobiotics and is critical for maintaining intestinal integrity. The NR1I2 gene encoding PXR may confer susceptibility for Crohn's disease (CD) but evidence for associations is conflicting. We
## 817 ated with increased risk for AD, at least in the Korean population. Nevertheless, it cannot be excluded that the association between IL-1A (-889) C/T polymorphism and AD observed in previous studies might be the result of linkage disequilibrium with a yet unidentified gene on chromosome 2.
## Background: Genomewide linkage studies identified chromosome 3p21 as an ibd locus. genomewide association studies have supported this locus and the wellcome trust case control consortium (wtccc) study narrowed it to a 0.6 mb region. our objectives were to perform a 2-stage candidate gene associa
Serotonergic systems have been reported to mediate the control of aggression and/or impulsivity in humans and to be involved in suicidal behavior. Neurochemical studies showing serotonergic dysfunction in suicide appear to support the functional alteration of serotonergic systems due to gene polymor
