TNFalpha and IL10 SNPs act together to predict disease behaviour in Crohn's disease.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Clinical evaluation of CNVs identified via techniques such as array comparative genome hybridisation (aCGH) involves the inspection of lists of known and unknown duplications and deletions with the goal of distinguishing pathogenic from benign CNVs. A key step in this process is the comparison of the individ...
