 Allele frequencies and carriage rates for variants in the IBD5 haplotype in patients with ulcerative colitis compared with healthy controls

Three marker single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (IGR2096a_1, IGR2198a_1, and IGR2230a_1) were used to represent the IBD5 haplotype together with two SNPs in the OCTN1 and 2 (1672C→T and −207G→C, respectively). The SNP IGR2198a_1 was associated with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis. Homozygous carriage both of the SNPs IGR2096a_1 and IGR2198a_1 and of the TC and IBD5 haplotype was associated with susceptibility to ulcerative colitis. The results for heterozygous carriage all failed to achieve significance (results not shown).
