Investigating the shared genetic architecture between multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases

An epidemiological association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is well-established, but a genetic link is unclear. Here, the authors investigate the shared genetic architecture between MS and IBD to shed light on the biological basis of comorbidity.
