NCF4 and IRGM were significantly associated with ileal CD (P-value(rs4821544)=0.0090, odds ratio (OR)=1.425, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.092-1.859; P-value(rs13361189)=0.0017, OR=1.942, 95% CI: 1.274-2.959; P-value(rs4958847)=0.0022, OR=1.767, 95% CI: 1.224-2.558), but not with other forms of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
Susceptibility to Crohn disease (CD), an inflammatory bowel disease, is influenced by common variants at many loci like the exonic synonymous IRGM SNP (rs10065172, NM_001145805.1, c.313C>T).
