In comparison to disease-matched controls, patients with CD developing psoriasis following IFX therapy were more likely to be homozygous for specific polymorphisms in the IL-23R gene (rs10489628, rs10789229, and rs1343151).
We confirmed the findings that the IL-23 receptor gene coding variant allele R381Q appears to decrease susceptibility to CD in an Israeli Jewish population.
Polymorphisms 3020insC in CARD15 and SNP rs3792876 in SLC22A4/5 occurred statistically significantly more often in patients with pediatric-onset CD than in patients with adult-onset CD.
