Association between variants of the autophagy related gene--IRGM and susceptibility to Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis: a meta-analysis.
BACKGROUND: Polymorphisms in immunity-related GTPase family M (IRGM) gene may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) by affecting autophagy. However, the genetic association studies on three common variants in IRGM gene (rs13361189, rs4958847 and rs10065172) have shown inconsistent resu...
