Familial vestibulocerebellar disorder maps to chromosome 13q31-q33: a new nystagmus locus.

abstract：BACKGROUND:DLG5 p.R30Q has been reported to be associated with Crohn disease (CD), but this association has not been replicated in most studies. A recent analysis of gender-stratified data from two case-control studies and two population cohorts found an association of DLG5 30Q with increased risk of CD in men but not ...
