In one embodiment, this invention provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's Disease by determining the presence or absence of risk haplotypes in IL23R, IL17A, IL17RA and/or IL12RB1 locus. In another embodiment, the invention provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's Disease in an individual by determining the presence or absence of risk haplotype at the IL12RB2 locus.
摘要:
Methods of predicting the development of medically refractory ulcerative colitis (MR-UC) in a patient by determining the presence or absence of one or more risk variants, where the presence of one or more risk variants is indicative of a severe and/or aggressive form of ulcerative colitis are disclosed.
摘要:

Provided is a method of diagnosing a Crohn's Disease subtype in an individual by determining the presence or absence of a risk variant at the SMAD3 and/or JAK2 loci.
摘要:
Diagnosis of Crohn's Disease by determining the presence or absence of variants at the CNR2 (cannabinoid) genetic locus and serological markers is disclosed Methods of diagnosing a Crohn's Disease sub-type by determining the presence or absence of one or more risk variants at the CNR2 5 locus and the presence or absence of ASCA, OmpC, 12 and/or anti-Cbir1 antibodies are included
摘要:
Methods of diagnosing susceptibility to metabolic insulin resistance and other related conditions are disclosed. The method provides means of diagnosing susceptibility to insulin resistance in Hispanic Americans by determining the presence of a risk haplotype at the LPL locus, the LPIN1 locus, and/or elevated levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of determining a risk of pouchitis development following a surgical procedure where an internal pouch is created in a patient with ulcerative colitis. The method is practiced by determining in the patient the presence or absence of a pouchitis-associated allele linked to an interferon &ggr; receptor locus, where the presence of the pouchitis-associated allele indicates an increased risk of pouchitis development. The interferon &ggr; receptor locus to which the pouchitis-associated allele is linked can be, for example, an interferon &ggr; receptor 1 gene. A pouchitis-associated allele useful in the invention can be, for example, an allele located within the sixth intron of the interferon &ggr; receptor 1 gene, such as a FA1 microsatellite 171 allele.
摘要:
The present invention provides a method of diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to an autoimmune disease in an individual by determining the presence or absence in the individual of a 2-2-4 haplotype at the Notch4, HSP70-HOM and D6S273 loci, where the presence of the haplotype diagnoses or predicts susceptibility to the autoimmune disease. The methods of the invention can be particularly useful for diagnosing or predicting susceptibility to Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis or type I diabetes mellitus. In a preferred embodiment, a method of the invention is used to diagnose or predict susceptibility to Crohn's disease in an individual of Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity.
摘要:
Disclosed is a method for determining haplotypes useful for large-scale genetic analysis, within a genomic reference sequence of interest, for a human subpopulation. The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a Mexican-American human subject for developing insulin resistance and methods of detecting a lower than normal risk in a Mexican-American human subject for developing insulin resistance or coronary artery disease.

The method can applied to statistically evaluating the genotypes of subjects for any statistically significant association with a phenotype of interest, such as insulin resistance or coronary artery disease. Thus, also disclosed are a method of detecting a genetic predisposition in a human subject for certain biological conditions, which may be related to coronary artery disease.
摘要:
This invention provides methods of diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. In one embodiment, the invention provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting susceptibility for inflammatory bowel disease in the Puerto Rican population by determining the presence or absence of a risk variant at the HPS1 locus. In another embodiment, the invention further provides methods of diagnosing and/or predicting protection against inflammatory bowel disease by determining the presence or absence of a protective variant at the IRF1 locus. In another embodiment, the presence in an individual of a risk variant at the CARD8 locus is diagnostic of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease in a Puerto Rican individual. In another embodiment, the presence of a risk variant at the TLR-9 locus in an individual is diagnostic of susceptibility to Crohn's Disease.
