GENEMAP OF THE HUMAN GENES ASSOCIATED WITH CROHN'S DISEASE

摘要

The present invention relates to the selection of a set of polymorphism markers for use in genome wide association studies based on linkage disequilibrium mapping. In particular, the invention relates to the fields of pharmacogenomics, diagnostics, patient therapy and the use of genetic haplotype information to predict an individual's susceptibility to IBD (e.g. Crohn's Disease) and/or their response to a particular drug or drugs.
