β¦ Synopsis
Background: Recent genome-wide association studies in Caucasian populations identified IL23R and ATG16L1 as susceptibility genes to Crohn's disease (CD). We tested 5 IL23R single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 12 ATG16L1 SNPs in Korean patients to determine whether these genes are associated with susceptibility to CD in a non-Caucasian population.
Methods:
We analyzed 5 IL23R SNPs and 12 ATG16L1 SNPs in 380 patients with CD and 380 healthy controls.
Results: Two IL23R gene variants, an intronic SNP rs1004819 and intergenic SNP rs1495465, showed significant associations with CD; the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) for rs1004819 was 1.822 (95% confidence interval [CI] Ο 1.164 -2.852, P Ο 0.009) and aOR for rs1495965 was 1.650 (95% CI Ο 1.102-2.471, P Ο 0.015). The genotype-phenotype analysis showed subphenotype specificity to stricturing and penetrating behaviors. On the other hand, none of the 12 ATG16L1 SNPs showed any positive association with CD in Koreans. The contribution of IL23R variants in Korean CD patients overall is low in comparison with studies of Caucasian.
Conclusions:
Our data in Koreans support the previous Caucasian reports of an association of the IL23R gene with CD.

## Background: The rs2241880A/G variant of the ATG16L1 gene has been associated with susceptibility to ileal Crohn's disease (CD) in adults. Our aim was to assess whether germline variation of ATG16L1 acts as an independent determinant of susceptibility to childhood-onset CD in the high-incidence S
Background: Recent genome-wide studies have implicated the autophagy genes ATG16L1 and IRGM in the pathogenesis of Crohn's disease (CD). We investigated whether these genes were associated with CD in Canadian children. ## Methods: A case-control study was carried out at 2 pediatric gastroenterolog
## Background: Although many genetic variants are identified in association with crohn's disease (cd), card15, il23r, and atg16l1 association with cd have been firmly confirmed in caucasians of european ancestry. the prevalence of cd is rapidly rising in brazil, where european ancestry is firmly ad
Background: IBD5, IL23R, and ATG16L1 genetic variations are established Crohn's disease (CD) risks alleles. We evaluated these in a population-based case-control study within a cohort to determine their penetrance, population attributable risk, independence, and relationship to other established CD
Background: Identification of Crohn's disease (CD)-associated genetic variants is key to understanding pathogenic pathways underlying disease susceptibility. Recent reports of an association between TNFSF15 variants and CD have been modestly replicated in European populations, suggesting heterogenei
