Genizon and Institute for Clinical Molecular Biology Replicates Disease Gene Discoveries in Crohn's Disease
Results Confirm the Power of Genizon's Platform and the Quebec Founder Population for Disease Gene Discovery
A selection of narrowly defined candidate regions, previously announced by Genizon from a whole genome association study on Crohn's disease, was fine mapped using samples from a German population, collected by a group led by Professor Stefan Schreiber, Director of the Institute for Clinical Molecular Biology. These regions have led to a comprehensive GeneMap for Crohn's disease, consisting of multiple interacting genes, biochemical pathways and prospective targets for therapeutic intervention.
